I've posted a couple plant issues here and thank you for the response! Little did I know the horror growing behind me in a plant that I thought was doing really well! The plant, which I have no idea what kind it is, except that it's "tropical" has been growing steadily, to the point where I'm wondering what to do with it. Such a newbie, the idea of cutting a plant seems "mean" ;)
Anyway, I had noticed some dirt coming out of the bottom, but didn't think much about it.
Yesterday I saw this strange centipede like creature in my hallway. It was like a centipede or millipede but was slow. My partner said he saw one the other day as well.
Didn't think much about it.
Today the plant fell over because of all the weight it had on one side, I'd turned it so it could get light on all sides.
There are TONS of these worm bugs at the bottom of the plastic tray. There are no doubt tons in the bottom of my plant. I am horrified and they gross me out. I cleaned up the mess and have put some diatamacious earth at the bottom of the plastic tray, around the holes where these things are coming out of.
What in the world are these things and what should I do!?
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
I am beginning to think I am way over my head with buying these beautiful huge expensive plants!
