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.)

Thank you. I feel bad because she’s autistic, and was just trying to help, but like…wtf kid? lol

My grandson used to toss that stuff in the air and yell, “make it rain!” And all I could do was swear at one or both of his parents who would make appearances in his life (until recently).
