They look like white flies. I’ve never had them but do a google search. I’m sure an insecticide soap will prob do. But I’d get them off asap. Give it a good wipe for now.

Washed the plant thoroughly, sprayed with peroxide too.. Thanks! I did order an insecticide, hopefully will get them all off, eugh.

Verify the insecticide is not toxic to humans if you plan to use the lemongrass in foods.

I'd get a sticky trap to get the adults. Neem oil, horticultural oil, and pyrethrins are also recommended
