A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion Plant pests and problems Worried with maggots on my 1 month old plant

Hi.. i started planting dates seeds on a pot. on its 1-3 weeks i can see how it grows. and as a fertilizer I learned that multivitamins that are about to expire will benefit the soil, So i crush the multivitamins, mix them with water and watered them to my soil.

But after 2 days I notice that maggots began to form/show on my soil.

Should i be worried with these maggots? and get rid of them? or are they beneficial to my plant?

Thank you

I'm not sure if a multivitamin would cause maggot growth, was your soil sterile?
