Question
hi! i bought a songs of india plant about 2-3 weeks ago & it was in a pretty big ,cheap quality platic pot.i wanted to r-poy it in a nice ceramic pot & i did so  2 days ago.after it was planted in new pot,the xtra soil that was left over (all of it did not fit in the new pot),i noticed a bunch of small worms,or sum kind of bug that is kind of whitish crawling around in the leftover soil & they were  kind of hard & they seem to ball up wen touched.
Also,the soil has a bunch of wat it looks like,small balls of styrofoam mixed in the soli & there is also sum small green balls of sumthing in there? is that sum decorative pebbles or sumthing bad in my soil? wat should i do with the plant? the about 2-3 leaves are turning yellow.does this have anything to do with the worms in the soil?
wat should i do with the plant that is in the new pot now?
there is 1 nickel-size drainage hole in the bottom.

Hi Kandee, Go to your local garden center and let them recommend an insecticide to kill the soil insects.  The worms will not be a problem.  The little round things are timed release fertilizer and perlite, a soil conditioner.  The yellow leaves are probably from the root disruption in transplanting and/or incorrect watering.  Be careful not to over water.  Jim
