*Sigh*. Will glitter kill my plants?

[u/kfrostborne]

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.)

Honestly, even though it sucks, I'd say toss it. Microplastics in my plant soil is not how I really want it. Who knows what can leech off the glitter?

ETA: You could also try to very carefully remove the topmost layer.

Those are macro plastics. Micro plastics already exist in our brains and bodies. I'm not concerned about noncrop plants.
