What is this poop-like sand doing in my pot saucer/tray? I saw them today. I lifted the pot(Dracaena Reflexa [Song of India]) and couldn't find a bug or anything. So I thought maybe it's the sand falling from the pot holes, but they are too perfect and makes me wonder if it's really sand falling from the holes or a work of art. But if it is a work of art, then who is the artist?

Also, I crushed some and found them to be sand. The plant is kept in home.

My hypothesis is that it is worm poop. Also known as worm castings. If there is a lot of sand in the pot that would explain why they break into sand. Here is a picture I found of worm castings from a rich soil: https://highyieldorganics.net/products/worm-castings (URL to archive version)
