What kind of worms? Earthworms are actually good for plants!

I'm not quite sure what kind of worms you are referring to. There are all kinds of parasites that can get into houseplants. My mother-in-law has the greenest thumb I know. She once told me to use dishsoap and water, but I was afraid to kill my favorite plant. I ended up getting an insecticide spray especially made for houseplants in the gardening area of Wal-Mart. In the future, you may want to be sure not to take the plant outside for any length of time.

Leave them. They are so good for your plant.. I do assume you mean the regular garden worms. They won`t hurt anything and add bunches to the plant.. They keep the dirt aerated and their droppings is good for the plant.. lucky you... I brought in a herd of baby praying mantises one year.. {:-)
That was an adventure.. LOL

Do not do anything to them. Worms and other bugs are "fertilizers" to your plant.
When dead leaves fall on your pot, the worms will decompose it. Then their "leftovers" become nutritious to the plant. It will grow bigger, faster, and healthier.

there are a couple of things you can do. one there is a product called sevins dust, you can buy it at most nurserys, hardware stores, walmart, southern states, etc. Put it in the leg of a panty hose and shake it over your plants, quaranteed to kill all unwanted bugs, worms etc. There is also a guy named jerry Baker who has recipes for non-chemical cures. you could check out one of his books. good luck hun

worms are really good for your plant- they turn the soil and keep it moist.

My dad always says to pick them off an kill them - squish them (gross!), burn them or drown them and make sure you get every one. Then check it daily.
