Can anyone tell me what this is? They move really fast and hydrogen peroxide doesn’t seem to kill them. I’ve only seen them in the soil, they aren’t crawling on the leaves or vines.

TIA!

Look like beneficial buggies, maybe springtails? They’ll eat all the dead material from the soil!

Just googled Springtails and I think that’s what they are! They haven’t seemed to be hurting the plants but I wanted to make sure they weren’t a pest.

Those look like springtails! They are very beneficial to your plants, because they eat all the dead organisms and waste. ❤️
