I found a tiny bug on the stem and it was brown and tiny. About 2 cm long. It had a larger head and had little teeth like spikes at the head. Looked like a parasitic worm. Anyways, I cut to the chase. Do y’all know of a way to help my baby recover? I just noticed it today. I have been moving all month and have been away since Saturday. Please help! Thanks in advance!

I squished the bug before I took the picture and posted!

How big is the root ball? The pot should be slightly larger that the root ball so no excess wet soil sits around the roots. The soil level should be close to the rim of the pot for better air circulation to help dry the soil faster.

The roots are very large!
