Question:

Strange white balls in soil?

I have a little leafy house plant, not exactly sure what it is, but there's something strange in it's soil. The plant came with just standard soil, none of the little white balls in it, and now there's white balls popping up left and right. I took one and cut it in half, and they're hard little things, but I don't want them to be something harmful to my plant.

Answer:

NURSERY or garden centre will have larger bags if that is what you need.
Google vermiculite USA you'll get information where to get it from in the states
You can buy vermiculite at Home Depot, Kmart, or any large store with a lawn garden section, or a hardware store. It might even be for sale in a large drugstore - call first to check.
Garden centre in England or phone your local council (mine is Oxford City Council),ask for contact number of your local Allotment site.We sell it when the shop is open.
