Insects And Roots

[JustStartedD]

today I woke up and I started moving the plants around , I got this blue dream plant last weekend and I sprinkled it with some great white and roots started to come out the bottom of the pot after the week. So today I was looking to see if more roots came out , does the exposure to oxygen make the tips of the roots change colors ? & I also found a small tiny Centipede like creature running around the bottom. Is that a predatory insect or should I be worried about it

centipedes are predatory.what theyr predating on god knows.
air prunes roots so roots poppin out the bottom the dieing back is normal.its called "air pruned"

if ever u have insect pests in your root zone then nematodes will kill all insects in the root zone.the ones i get for fungus gnats eat everything in there.springtails the lot.cant recommend em highly enough and theyr really cheap at around £20 to treat 10 square metres of soil.just google fungus gnat nematodes to find a source near you.

Okay I just wanted to make sure nothing was messed up. And as far as the insect. I've never seen it. Don't know how it got there. And I don't have gnats in the soil. I believe I don't. I try to keep my area clean and I don't let water build up

I'm not sayin u have gnats,I'm just sayin IF u ever do have soil pests the todes will wipe em out pretty quick.sern people spend fortunes trying to hit pests with this product and that product,usually without success wen a £20 tub of nematodes would sort em in 10 days
