    It is safe for them to eat and can be added to their bin if you are vermicomposting. Additionally, The worms will not hurt the roots at all. Worms eat dead material and are great for aerating soil and adding nutrients.

    The roots system is extensive and they are holding a lot of water in those thick roots.
    It may take a week or even longer for the plant to need moisture between watering.
    Don't worry about a schedule, just check the soil as you indicate and only then add water.
    Your plant looks healthy and happy.

    I'm sorry. I cannot recommend a place to purchase. I would check your local garden centers, or online for reputable seed shops.

    I can offer information on the plant, however.
