I was out cleaning freshly fertilized lawn clippings off my plants ( ) when I noticed a bunch of these little guys all over at least one pot. Any idea what they are? Are they bad for CPs?
Thanks, kulamauiman! So, no harm to my plants and their pots? I might have to work something out for my sundew so that it's not surrounded by a moat, if it wants to eat the springtails.
springtails can walk on water. they will cross a moat just fine by themselves. Feed on fungi, algae or decaying organic matter. ideal to have infesting seedling area of drosera or almost any CP seedlings.....
I imagine they don't even have to walk on water to get to my plants. I got near them with tweezers and they simply disappeared. Vanished. No wonder they call them springtails.
Yup! I have quite a nice population of them as well. Mine have two white dots and a fully black body. They do no harm. Had them for over 3y in my neps.
