Should I be concerned that these little critters are living in my Pothos ? Sorry for the blurry image it’s from a video, but they look like mini centipedes!

They are millipedes. They are common in nurseries especially when the pots are exposed to the elements. Treat with neem oil or insecticidal soap. They live in the soil especially under the pots. You can flood the pots in a bucket of water about 30 minutes to help flush them out. 🪴🍀
