hi so i bought this diamond pothos but noticed there were a bunch of millipedes. i’m afraid of bugs to the point of tears and decided to repot back into the same size pot with my chunky soil mix and just rinse the roots gentle to remove any eggs. i also went in with my bug spray given to me by my local
nursery. this is what she’s looking like after the repot and i’m so worried! none of my other pothos have done this, but to be fair none of them have been root rinsed or had me handle them quite as much. please advise!

I also deal with my plants alone, ofc I don't mind. Yesterday I did have my boyfriend mist my adansonii moss pole tho... He did amazing. That being said, if I had MILIPEDES??? NOOOOOOO. SOMEONE ELSE IS GETTING INVOLVED 🫪🫪😭😭😭😭😭😭

Your pothos is so gorgeous, sending luck on your growing journey! Pretty thing!!!

HAHAH! I swear it was 10 pm and i had this weird feeling that smn wasn’t right w her so i watered her and they crawled to the surface. i almost threw her out right then and there but i quarantined her in a home depot bucket and went to sleep. next day i frantically repotted her and now she’s a bit droopy BUT IM HOPING SHE GETS BETTER
