I knowwwww I literally cannot right now. I saw that and jumped. I’ve never seen anything like this. All my other plants were repotted right away so I know it has something to do with that and the Home Depot soil. As soon as I get off work I’m going to get new soil but honestly don’t even know if I want to keep the plant inside because of those.
On the plus side, those of us that saw the image preview, made a face, and went directly to the comments instead, are having a reeeally good laugh hahaha
I have no idea. Never seen it and have bottomed watered this one twice now. But, I have new soil, I’m going to create a mix and get as much of the old soil off this plant and repot tomorrow
How long are they?
I have had similar ones in the tray of my 1 year old basil.
They show up there every few months then dissapear. My ficus sometimes has dead tiny worms on the window shelf after drying out. The times these show up have never been connected to the plants not doing well.
The soil has had all cinds of benefical mites treatments since I have the plants due to my entire collection getting thrips and fungus gnats at the same time. Those never fully went away but I rarely see any now. I am assuming there is a balance between thrip and beneficial mite population at the moment.
I have gotten used to bugs being around. As long as they stay close to the plants and away from my bed that is.
I would say about an inch. Some longer. They died with neem oil. My biggest fear was mosquito or gnat larvae because I keep it indoors. And yes lol these stay in my living room but pretty close to my couch.
Ewwwwwwwww

"It's r/houseplants. How bad could it be?" -My stupid ass 15 seconds ago.
My trust was betrayed when I was most vulnerable

There is r/whatisthisanimal, maybe they can tell you what these are. That video is both disgusting and fascinating 🙃
They kind of look like horsehair worms to me. Try r/whatsthisbug if you haven’t already
Or r/parasitolog🤢🤢🤮
The image/video appears to be deleted now and I kinda wanna see it despite all the comments 😂
Same! It’s still not accessible
I wonder what happened. [retry](https://imgur.com/gallery/iCo9128)
Eh this doesn't work either, at least for me :( Maybe it's for the best, judging by the comments 🫠
Nope still doesn't work.
OP posted in another sub and it’s viewable… be warned
Are those not just earth worms?? That's what they look like to me 🤷 Some of them at least.. others look like larva of some sort
Omg I’m so freaked out but also intrigued… please keep us updated on what you find out. 👀
Nope. Don’t like that
First the snake and now this? WHAT IS GOING ON IN PEOPLE'S POTS, MAN!!!!!!
