I may be going crazy, but did I just find a tiny snail on one of my orchids… I have no words. It’s one of the recent arrivals, may be quarantine time now, I’ve never seen this before

      The poor thing probably crawled up the plant and dried up from lack of moisture then 😓 Will search to see if there are any live ones and let them loose

    Check your roots- snails in the media will eat them, particularly the tender new root tips. If it seems you have a problem- or find more, you need to repot, and spray the roots with hydrogen peroxide. It will kill off any eggs in the books and crannies.
