# Hi there i need some advice for my Rubber plant. I got her about 2…

_Publié par Gabriella le 2024-04-17_

Hi there i need some advice for my Rubber plant. I got her about 2 months ago from Home depot, i lifted her up to check on her roots and i found a huge earthworm and a snail with about 9 snail babies that i could find. I took them out, and i found a couple more snail babies since then, i don’t know what to do. She has been growing and is honestly doing really well, but i don’t know if i should clean her and repot her in new fresh unsnail soil since she has been growing so much.

I would repot in fresh well draining soil with perlite. Those snails are so cute! Their little shells! I kept a baby snail that was on one of my alocasia capreas, I put it in a container with breathing holes and some lettuce/carrots.. the thing has grown like crazy! Mine isn’t as cute as yours, the shell isn’t as cute. I always wanted a pet snail and had never seen a garden snail in person, only slugs. So I was excited to find a tiny little snail baby hahaha

I know in general earthworms are actually really good for plants. They aerate the soil, eat dead roots and fertilize the plant. Earth worm castings (poop) are a major natural fertilizer in most organic fertilizers . However, I’m not sure the conditions in your houseplant is good for the worm. At the very least, you can throw it outside near some in-ground plants, but you may want to consider keeping it in your houseplant if you think you won’t dry out the soil too much or burn it with harsh fertilizer. The snails on the other hand definitely have to go :).
