Worms in Houseplant Soil: Alcohol Drench and Jade Watering Fix

Unknown Worms—Kill with Alcohol

Water both plants from top with straight rubbing alcohol (full bottle). Kills creatures on contact, won’t harm roots.

Likely Harmless

Garden worms aerate and fertilize soil. But red/black thin worms are unusual indoors.

Jade Plant Correction

Jade (Crassula ovata) is from arid Africa—keep dry. Water only when soil is very dry. Give sunniest window. Current sink-soaking method is too wet.
