    Millipedes. They probably crawled into the drainage holes or came with the plant from the nursery. They live on organic matter and are not harmful. You can try flushing them out the next watering day. Changing the soil gets rid of them.

    The little creature is a pest that isn’t very harmful but you shoudl get rid of it. There is probably more of them in the soil. I recomend repotting or pouring 1/4 part hydrogen peroxide on the soil to kill them.

      I think it’s time to repot anyway so I’m gonna try that thank you 😊

    It's in the flat backed millipede family if you feel like learning more about them :)
