Default [IBC] worms

can be earth worms be bad or just not dangerous for bonsais
like
ficus or others?
Theo

The worms themselves are harmless. The "castings" (the soil that
passes through the worm's gut as it grinds the soil and digests
the organic particles), however, can be too fine and can clog the
pore space between your soil particles.

Submerge your pot to its rim in water. Any worms will vacate the
premises. Move the worms to the garden where they perform a
valuable service, then let your bonsai drain.
