bugs in my money tree

| I keep my money tree on a plate of small pebbles with water. Today when I added water, I noticed what appeared to be THOUSANDS of VERY TINY white worm-like bugs scrambling around the rocks. I freaked out and put the plant outside and do not want to bring it back in my house! Can anyone tell me what they could be and how they got on the rocks? This is (or should I say was) my first plant by-the-way, and I was able to save only one of the five braided trunks and was so happy until I noticed the bugs. |

| You've chosen a difficult plant for your first endeavor. Judging by the problems others have with Pachira, don't feel badly if you find it challenging to grow! Don't really know what it is you might be growing in the water. Have you noticed any small gnat-like insects flying around your plant? Do you notice similiar critters in the potting soil when you water? |
Saving Hardwood Trees

| Most of you said fertilizing trees was not a good idea. Then aside from puting mulch around them, how can I stop 3 oak and hickory trees from dying due to trauma from building a new house around them? I was told within 3 years they will die. Please help! Donna |
