I have some type of pine tree. Anyway, the type doesn't really matter. I got it as a present for Christmas a couple years ago and read up about it online. Found out that in it's natural habitat it lives in high humidity, so I spray it and water it well once a week and it's very happy!

Anyway, on occasion I see a snail. It's very tiny, it only seems to show up on the outside of the pot (that sits in a bowl to catch water that comes out of the bottom of the pot). It's tan in color and a little bigger than my pinky fingernail.

Is it harmful to my tree? Might it have come with the tree when I was given it?

I know slugs are harmful, so Im guessing it might be but my tree has shown no ill effects.

thanks:)

 So, I took some of the advice everyone gave me.

I took the peace lilly out of the dirt and soaked the roots. I got all of the dirt off the roots. It turned out it was one big plant and four small ones. I thought it was one big plant all this time. Three of the small ones were dying/ dead. So I pulled them out and tossed them. Most of the roots were healthy and there was no sign of rot. I cleaned the dead roots off.

I put the big one back in the pot I had it in before, and I put the smaller one in it's own pot. I watered them both with miracle grown, making sure to get the soil nice and wet. Then, I misted the leaves.

The small one is still a little floppy, but the main plant looks a lot better. Anything else I should do for them? They both are in front of windows, so, they get enough sunlight. Then, I think I'm just going to continue on the regular watering and feeding schedule.

QUESTION:
Does watering with tap or distilled water really not make that much of a difference? On all the websites I read they say that I should you distilled water. I've had a couple other people tell me it doesn't matter. I have three peace lillies, four orchids (phals), one brown spiderwart, lucky bamboo, aloe vera, lavendar, and small roses. I water them all with distilled water, and are on a set feeding schedule.

hi there I am new to the community I am very interested in looking info info on Asian types of gardening most Bonsai Tress and Zen Gardens I am planning on moving out of my place in about a year or so into a apartment so i need to be looking more at smaller stuff. Any info would be wonderful epically books on the topic. Or good place to buy the products I already own one Bonsai Tree i believe its a ficus but I am interested in finding a Japanese Cedar and a Cherry blooming Bonsai. I know it has a nicer more exact name then that, but I don't remember I saw it in a book lol should have wrote it down.
