Pest in soil.

[Mr Ecstasy]

centipedes are coming up to the top of the soil when i water my baby plant, will it hurt to move it out into cleaner soil?

IF its small ( relatively speaking) you should have no probs re-potting the plant. If need be make sure to use "clean" soil" or "bake" it at 200* for 20min. it stinks but kills anything bad~

so, my mom has this good soil in her garden, cut with horse shyt. That'd be gud for it u think?

 

[meds4me]

not if you want more pests being brought outside to inside ~

Hello Mr Ecstasy

Centipedes are carnivores and eat other bugs.

They're not interested in your plants.

Hip dont some bugs like worms, centipedes break up the soil and make it easier for the roots?
