Intro: Ants in pots are common and usually harmless, but they can disturb roots.
1. Water the pot deeply
Ants hate soggy soil.
2. Move the pot
They often relocate within a day.
3. Use cinnamon
Sprinkle on the soil — ants avoid it.
4. Check for aphids
Ants farm them for honeydew.
5. When to repot
If the nest is large, repot with fresh soil.
Summary: Ants move into dry soil — moisture and repotting usually solve it.
