    Looks like a millipede to me. They mainly eat decaying material so should not pose any threat to your plants. I view them as a sign of healthy soil.

    It’s a millipede! Usually a sign of healthy soil. You can just plop it back in or you can put it in some dirt outside if you really want to.

    Thats so funny! I just found a similar one (although slightly different breed of millipede) yesterday in one of my planted pots, and had to look it up. At first my research did say they ate decaying matter in soil, so I thought should be fine, kinda like having earth worms in your soil is super healthy… but then I read this: “While these multi-legged insects are usually beneficial, they can cause problems for houseplants—especially when limited to a small area. Millipedes aid decomposition by eating organic matter like fallen leaves, but indoors, they might be forced to munch on living plant material.” Yikes! So maybe could start eating the roots of my plant eventually?! I removed it from my pot just to be safe. 🤷🏻‍♀️
