I haven't purchased the plugs before - we usually bring in the 2" or 4" plants and go from there. So I don't have a particular source to direct you to. You might try a google search for Anthurium plugs. What you are looking for will be referred to as Anthurium plugs.

After the initial saturation the soil should be moist to the touch but not dripping with water. As for the insects, it may take a couple treatments before the insect go away. They probably have laid eggs. The insect spray will only work on the adult insects and not the eggs. Cut out any part of the plant that is mushy or soft. Then give the plant sometime. Plants are just like us after cold. It takes a little time for them to recover. Keep the soil moist not soggy.

I now seem to have small bugs in the soil, not worms just mites maybe? I have still lost a few more leaves and no new growth. I think a section has also rotted. That part is all dried up. It is planted in miracle grow potting soil. I have sprayed the plant and the soil with houseplant insect spray. The bugs keep returning. What do I do? Should I repot in new soil? I really want to save it. Please help. I cut off all the damaged leaves and saturated water. I now seem to have small bugs in the soil, not worms just mites maybe?

Is it in any soil? If the plant is in very little soil, she will need to keep a close eye on the moisture level. That maybe why it was wilting. As for Anthurium plant care, they like light or partial shade areas. So in the house you want a bright room but don't let the sun beat directly on to the plant. They want a warm but not hot condition. Keep away from drafts and air conditioning vents. Anthurium like humidity. You can create a humid environment by misting the air around the plant with warm water every day or so. Keep the plant evenly moist. If your daughter has any questions about how to take care of her plant, she can ask them here and I will help her to the best of my ability. You say it is planted in a piece of lava rock?

The soil needs to be saturated with water not just the top. Once you correct the water issue the plant should recover. Olivia,

They can cause a little skin irritation but are relatively harmless. You can use the spray mentioned above or diatomaceous earth sprinkled on top of your soil. t looks like you have millipede.
