# Hello, I have a Peace Lilly that had been struggling for months… A…

_Posted by Borg Family Plants on 2026-09-24_

Hello, I have a Peace Lilly that had been struggling for months… A few weeks ago I moved her to my office near a grow light and she started taking off! big new beautiful leaves, flowers and just all around thriving… I checked her cache pot today and found springtails jumping around… Internet says they’re beneficial, And the plant is thriving like never before.. do I leave them?? Will they spread to my other plants? It is messing with me knowing they’re there.. I’m feeling itchy. lol.

I would say leave em they’re completely beneficial! They feed on decaying organic matter \&\& mold. They could spread by migrating towards moisture. Completely up to you!

Keep them!

They are actually very beneficial for plants! I have some in my frog terrarium and they do a great job!

how do you get more spring tails

#### Belle replied on 2026-09-26

Most pet stores carry them!!

### Phil commented on 2026-09-24

Spread them to any of your plants that may have a pest issue. Or if you have a terrarium. People pay money for springtails.
