Hey guys! So I purchased 2 Milo’s at Walmart tonight… they look good I didn’t see any signs of pests or diseases… got them home and something told me to check one of the new leaves that one was pushing out that hadnt totally unfurled. (One in middle of this pic) Of course I ripped it a bit opening it but I’m glad I did… the green gods must’ve been on my side telling me to check it, cause there were a lot of tiny clear bugs. They weren’t moving at all but I wiped them all off, rinsed that leaf with water, and sprayed it with neem oil. They’re both upstairs separate from my other plants. What do you think those were, baby spider mites? They looked like mealy bugs honestly but those have always been white in my experience. I’m gonna let them acclimate for about a week and then I’ll repot by throwing out the soil, rinsing everything with water, and then placing in cups of water for another few weeks before putting in a self watering pots with pon. Would you guys do anything differently? I did also get an anthurium flamingo lily that’s the most healthy I’ve EVER seen… but once home I noticed a tiny spider web on top of soil… nothing in the web though. I placed it upstairs too… I’ll most likely change its soil but I didn’t want to put it in water or pon because mine haven’t done well in either so far so I was going to put it in aroid soil. Do you think it could’ve just been a coincidence? Because seriously it looks so healthy. So confusing.
