    You should wash the dirt of the roots. And if you see any brown roots then cut those. Plant it in seed soil so it is comfy.

    That’s one way to kill a worm, and a plant I guess! The sodium is dangerous for the plant so “rinsing” the dirt and roots will help!!

      Maybe I should have done that rather than chucking salt at it. I panicked 😱

    Earthworms are beneficial for the plant. It keeps the soil nice and loose.
