# Help! I brought these long finger succulents home and when I watered…

Help! I brought these long finger succulents home and when I watered them today, ants started flooding out with these white things. I can’t tell if they’ve made a hill in the pot.

We’ve always had an ant problem so I know they’re our ants, but what are they holding and how can I get them out of my succulents?

Clearly you can see, the plants not very happy in its new home 😭

I had that happen to a plant, I rinsed soapy water through the soil to flush the ants out, it was really gross!
