What should I do if there are small white worms in the soil of the spider plant? How to kill them if there are small white worms?

1. The reason why there are small white worms in the soil

The presence of small white worms in the soil of spider plants is usually because the water used when watering contains tea leaves or other organic matter. In this case, the water will ferment in the soil later. After fermentation, it will produce a lot of nutrients and sugars, which will attract insects and hinder the normal growth of the plant. It is necessary to treat it in time to avoid deterioration.

2. Solutions to the problem of white worms in the soil

1. Change the soil: The fastest and most direct way to deal with insects in the soil is to remove the plant from the pot and change the soil, and re-configure new nutrient soil for planting, so that there will be no insects. Note that if you find damaged roots or rotten roots during soil replacement, you should cut them off and disinfect them to avoid reinfection later.

2. Spraying medicine: Remove tea leaves and other substances in the soil in time, and then place it in a well-ventilated and semi-shaded place to let the soil dry slowly. Do not water it during this period. After the soil is dry, water it with a solution of chlorpyrifos to kill pests. Be sure to place the medicine outdoors after watering to avoid contamination.

3. Notes

After treatment, you must pay attention to the watering method. Normally, just water it with clean water. Do not water it with tea water or other water containing organic matter to avoid fermentation and insects in the later stage. In addition, after watering, you need to ventilate the plant more to allow the water to evaporate.
