Hey guys! I just got this plant and today I noticed this small creatures on its soil. Are they harmful to the plant? What should I do? The plant it self looks happy!

Too blurry to tell if it’s a millipede or grub worm. Better to remove them.

I changed the whole soil!

It’s good that you removed all the soil make sure you washed the roots well and make sure you didn’t miss any of the bugs. To be extra sure I’d use hydrogen peroxide to kill any bugs left. (Use 1/4 hydrogen peroxide and 3/4 water and pore it into all of the soil, if it bubbles it is working.)
