Super worms in plants

So I bought a dwarf umbrella tree and I split it up into 3 smaller pots in my cage. I changed the soil to organic and I left one of the pieces in the container they came in(after I cleaned it off) and I put the other 2 in glass jars. My question is how can I keep supers out of the plants? I found 9 in the soil of the one in the original pot that has the holes in the bottom and 1 in one of the glass jars. It seems tedious to take the plants out on super worm feeding days, so what's the best way to keep them out?
 
BS,

I find a super in my plants now and again also. You might try to put mesh screen in the bottom, coming up the sides to block the draining holes. Your best bet with the supers, is to cup or hand fed them. The crazy thing is, if they're there a while (in the plant), the supers will pupate into beetles and then you're on you way to breeding supers. Every once in a while, when I find a beetle crawling around in the enclosure, I immediately remove him/her and place it into the breeding colony.
 
Just ask the super politely not to go into the plants.:LOL: Seriously there really isn't much you can do if your just dumping them in the cage. The best this to do to prevent this from happening are to hand feed each super to your Cham, or you can get a feeder cup, or a bowl.
