If you can stand it, I’d leave them. If they’re centipedes they eat dead plant matter \& pests \& aerate the soil

Thank you! It makes me squirm a bit to know they’re in the house, as long as they stay on the plants haha

Looks like she could use a repot anyways. I wouldn’t want those things in my house…
