    Hello, the other day I got myself these nice new plants, I think they're either M. wildii or M. zeilmanniana. I've spotted a couple of black ants on the plant and pot. Should I be worried? Will they harm my cacti? Thanks.

    There is no need to worry. Ants won't your plants. There would be a problem if there were a nest of them there, but that's not the case. Only worry if you see a lot of ants.
