I believe it’s a greenhouse millipede, but I posted not too long about it and still waiting for a response.

Ty!! Yeah I just got the plant from a nursery so that would make sense!!

I got mine a couple weeks ago too, I’m pretty sure that’s what it is and from most of the research I’ve read, they’re a sign of a healthy ecosystem, not usually harmful to the plant, and there because of the soil being consistently wet.

NOPE!!! Absolutely Not!!!  
The whole plant would be out ❌❌

I’m with you, she’s outside and she’ll do fine out there!! Like I said in another comment the plant room is my room and I’m just not feeling the worm thing and I don’t really care what kinda worm it is I just can’t!!

that is just a millipede. the bugs on the plants are very concerning though. douse the whole thing in neem oil

I doused her!! I actually live in FL so I put her outside for now, she’ll thrive outside as well as inside!! I just can’t do anything worm like in my room cuz that’s the plant room.
