Hi! I found a worm in my indoor houseplant. I got this plant from costco in July. I am conflicted if i should remove the worm from my plant. I have read different articles that are 50/50 regarding removing the worm. Any thoughts? Thanks!

I would remove it and put it outside unless you’re planning on providing additional food for the worm. They’re great for the soil but will start eating roots if there’s nothing else available.
