RyanVolle Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) Now this is an exciting topic for me. Once someone here says "they're beneficial" I'll be in the field of Vermeology. Are these beneficial? What species, if you can, please. Edited May 1, 2012 by RyanVolle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RyanVolle Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) nice... do they harm plants? Edit: I want a snake plant in my room and I just changed the soil totally, is it still a good idea to put the wormed soil back with the snake plant in my bedroom?

RyanVolle Posted May 1, 2012 answer my questions TwT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
reptyle Posted May 1, 2012 as i said there are 10000 species of millipedes and then wayy more beetles and u live "spomewhere" in the phillipines... u will need to locate a dichotomous key to find the exact one based on how many legs it has and exact colours and marking... i would say not harmful to plants... though again that probably depends on species... but best keep them outside where birds and spiders and other things can balance their effects... ie. get new soil... yes they can grow without soil... in course bark mulch or coir or similar as long as u spray them with water and ferts... though soil may provide more stability depending on how big it is... plants inside is a great idea...

reptyle Posted May 1, 2012 this is from wiki "Most millipedes eat decaying leaves and other dead plant matter, moisturising the food with secretions and then scraping it in with their jaws. However, they can also be minor garden pests, especially in greenhouses where they can cause severe damage to emergent seedlings. Signs of millipede damage include the stripping of the outer layers of a young plant stem and irregular damage to leaves and plant apices, the very top of a plant."

reptyle Posted May 1, 2012 having answered u... i should qualify my answer as being total nonsense based on presumptions and speculation... and wikipedia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
