Has anyone ever had millipedes in their soil before? If so, how did you get rid of them? I got a new Fabian and it was infested, and they’re starting to spread.

I would get rid of the soil, spray neem oil over all of it. Add new soil and treat everything with another dose of neem oil each week until they are gone.

Oh god that’s my nightmare! No advice, but how did you know it was infested? Did you see them in there/coming out of the pot? Or didn’t know until you repotted it?

I noticed when I was bottom watering and a bunch came swimming into the bowl
