So i was looking on here and there are a few ppl having problems with drooping leave, as i am (was). most the time its from over watering, so i put 4 worms in each pot, the poop might help wont hurt, also ive heard they airiate the soil,, But the best part is they come to the top when you overwater Or have been overwatering..
im not sure if there is a downside but its working great so far been like 4 weeks...

Perlite works better than worms for aerating the soil. Also, I have never understood how people overwater their plants. Water it until water comes out of the bottom holes, at least 10% of your water should drain out the bottom, then get rid of the runoff, and dont water it again until the top dries out. Its really simple.

well i was reading a house plant book and it says worm may undermine the soil and clog drainage holes, and could also cause the roots to dry out..
So it looks like i was wrong.. worm poop good, worm bad.
