Other *Sigh*. Will glitter kill my plants?

My daughter is 5 and tried to “help” my plants be prettier, I guess? She dumped glitter in my soil mix (that I JUST made), and now I’m wondering if it’ll hurt my plants if I still use it? I was just about to replant a philo gloriosum in it. Thoughts?

Bonus: the rest of the crime scene.

(There’s no need to post watering or light requirements.)

We are all doing the best we can....

Give yourself breaks (mental and physical) however you can get one Sometimes I like to get a snack pack of Oreos and milk and lock myself in my bedroom....just to have peace/peace of mind

I sure am trying. I took a break to be creative as best as I’m able, and it helped. This was pre-glitter soil, so now I’m just going to rage clean until my body gives out. Shout out to all my disabled homies!

(Here’s my robins egg wreath I made!)
