I keep spotting little snails burrowing in my pots—not sure if they’ll harm my plants. Should I do something about them?

Yes! Snails are usually in your soil because they’re attracted to moisture, organic matter, and shelter. They feed on decaying plant material and tender leaves. If you’re seeing a lot of them, it might be a sign of damp conditions or mulch that's holding too much moisture. Try removing hiding spots and using crushed eggshells or copper tape to deter them.
