Looks like millipedes. They are many varieties. They eat decaying matter and favor moist environments. I’ve found several under pots I bought locally and via mail order. They are typically not harmful. But, some varieties will eat live plant material if they can’t find organic matter.

I flushed the soil for several minutes to drive them out the bottom of the pot. Pour hydrogen peroxide through the soil. It might help.

I had these. I tried soaking in soap water and I tried flushing the soil. For me it was the fact the plant is in my BEDROOM lol so I couldn’t share it with them lol once I fully replaced all soil it’s been good to go.

How do you soak in soap water?

You legit soak in soapy water haha I put the whole nursery pot into a bucket of soapy water and let it soak. But I don’t think that really worked because they didn’t go away until I repotted it. Still none to this day!
