    Haha, well i transplanted my plants into 5gal pots along with some Ocean Forest soil. The next day i noticed a small ant, so far i have only found two.I have no clue where these ants are coming from, I think they might of gotten in the pot when we were transplanting them outside. Is there anything i can do to get rid of them? and will they harm my plant?

    Keep an eye on them and make sure they don't transplant any aphids to your plant. I'd smash the ones you find. You could also try a little neem oil wash if you haven't already. Make sure it's cold pressed and mix with soap/water. Not a lot of soap tho.

    I know ants can be a problem, which is why i asked if there is anything i can to to keep them from populating. For now ill keep an eye out and kill the ones i see, so far ive only seen 3.
