Yesterday at my local nursery(where i buy sarrs often), i bought a Dana's Delight, Judith hindle, and leuco tarnock.Now after I checked out i noticed some white things on the soil. When i asked, she said it was snail control. she showed me the bag. Main ingredient was iron phosphate(or something with iron) will this harm the plants? If so should i:
A. Repot it(which i really don't want to do)
or B. Pick them out(which i would prefer)
thanks!

I would get rid of the pellets one way or another.

Iron phosphate is a "wildlife friendly" slug and snail poison. Not so friendly to slugs and snails but it is not supposed to kill species further up the food chain- amphibians, birds, hedgehogs etc. I doubt the iron phosphate content will harm your plants, but like most slug pellets they may go mouldy under wet conditions and encourage fungal diseases. If I'm putting slug pellets out amongst my plants I normally place them in small plants saucers so that they remain dry.
