earthworms are good for the soil, but if I just put one in there, will it actually be able to reproduce, and flower pot is not big, will it die soon?
it is generally good to put some earthworms in flower pots?

i guess i wasn't clear, i already have the soil, and an inhouse green plant in it, so i wonder if i can put some earthworms in it, the pot is a little bigger than a regular coffee mug.

Yes you can do this. Just put your old coffee grounds into the pot because worms love to eat them. This is a great food for worms and they love them.

yes it is OK to put earthworms in a flower pot. but are you going to set something on top of it because if you are you should drill some holes in the flower pot so the worm can breath

no. Use a good potting soil and you don't need worms in the pot.
a worm will die soon in a pot.

Not a good idea. Earthworms, are good for making compost, but they need to have more space.
