I’ve seen these over the last few weeks in the soil of my Dieffenbachia. I’ve heard mixed responses as to what they may be (friend or foe) and recently I’ve noticed more of them, especially after watering. *they curl up when touched it that helps Any idea what they may be? Any solutions for getting rid of them? Should I isolate this plant as to not infect my others? Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙏
Hi! I think those may be centipedes that live in the soil. They are not at all harmful to plants (off my research). Hope this helps!

I read they are mostly harmless UNLESS they run out of rotting organic matter to eat, then they can start eating your plants roots. So i personally try to get rid of them (the centipedes) when i see them. You can do that either with a pest spray on soil or just change the soil out.
