   I can’t tell you why, but a plant I bought from a Home Depot had them bad! I’m not sure what yours look like but the kind that lived in my plant weren’t bad. They actually would eat other pests in my plant. I was FULLY creeped out and completely repotted that plant. Rinsed off the roots and everything!

   One of my plants bought at a store like that had a ton of them too and this picture is from one of my best friends plants that was also infested. Repotting solved the issue for me.

     Oh man that’s intense. I’m fairly good with bugs but centipedes are on a whole nothet creepy level for me. I might quit the hobby if that happened to me 😅 Good luck y’all!

     They stayed in the plant and didn’t even spread to the plants next to it. More just a hassle and gross for me to have to deal with.
