i have a shingle plant with these little worms in them. i’ve heard some mean the soil is good but i’m not fully comfortable. i’ve been treating for months with neem to no avail. just for confirmation, does anyone know what these are? i bottom water and they come out.

Look like garden millipedes, not harmful to plants usually. I don't belive neem is effective on them. Youd have to repot, and remove all soil.

😫😫 thank you. i’m anxious that they’re going to travel to the new soil

That's why I mention removing everything. Probably to the point of spraying the roots lightly with water. To make sure no small ones or eggs remain. Adding some Mycorrhizal would help with any root disturbing shock. The only way i know of to kill them is DE application. Diatomaceous earth, but i don't know how effective it is. I know there are millipede specific pesticides

I have them in one of my plants and I keep scooping them out. The bag of dirt I have is infested with larve. I have to dump that whole bag outside
