They are grub

#### tay respondió el 2024-11-26

what is that?

#### Ezzeldin Yaqoub respondió el 2024-11-26

Beetle larvae or moth larvae

#### tay respondió el 2024-11-26

should i give the plant new soil?

#### Ezzeldin Yaqoub respondió el 2024-11-26

Yes and remove the soil from the roots and spray it down to make sure none of those evil abominations are left alive so they can’t cause your plant any more harm and I mean spray not just the roots but the whole plant to just be safe.

#### tay respondió el 2024-11-26

AH okay, thanks so much for your help. i’ve noticed the plants been getting yellow leaves lately so that might be why 😭

I have Never Never plants out the wazoo! They are fertile and love to spread so divide it every time you repot once a year or if they get root bound 😊 they say to give them away as gifts for good fortune

#### tay respondió el 2024-11-26

oh wow okay, i didn’t know that. thank you! 😊it’s really grown over the last year so i’ll divide it up when i deal with those grubs 🤢

#### DanishGramma respondió el 2024-11-27

Exactly!

You don't need to replant or anything like that!

They're just springtails lol. You can leave them alone or you can wipe out the tray with a paper towel. If you don't want them to come back, be sure to wipe the tray after every watering. They show up when water sits in the drain tray for a long time after the plant is watered.

thank you for this info, but they don’t seem to look like springtails unless its larvae right now but they do look like baby worms

#### Hayley respondió el 2024-11-27

Springtails don't have a larval phase. This is what springtails look like freshly hatched-adult. For sure way to find out is to poke them; springtails pop around in a cute lil acrobat dance

#### Hayley respondió el 2024-11-27

These are the life stages of grubs. They're also significantly bigger than springtails and have a distinct curled shape in their larval stage
