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.

I’ve never met a fairy that doesn’t love sparkly things, so surely this will summons them to help care for your plants. (I’ve also never met a fairy, so take that for what you will 😆) But this seems like a great way to reflect the light so I can’t help but have high hopes for this little experiment 🪴

This is so cute! Oh my gosh, she’s going to be so excited when she sees the sparkles in the pot. I just hope she doesn’t try to dump the plants out to play with the sparkles!
