Can someone please help me.  
My Alocasia has been adapted to a LECA environment so I know it is not over or under watered. And I can not find anything moving. I use a grow light with an average of 400-550 foot candle near a northeast facing window about a foot away.

Hmm the roots look really good! So I’m thinking it’s a pest but they might be too small to see, like flat mites.

When I don't see anything moving I spray the plant with Neem oil. That seems to work for me. Good luck.
