Ok tell me about tiny little white bugs! I am new-ish to the houseplant world and I have 2 different plants that have these tiny little seemingly-white bugs in the soil. They’re easy to miss, and seem to move when I water them or poke at the soil. I’ve seen a couple jump. Hard to get a clear photo. Also the plants don’t show any signs of damage at all. I’ve done some googling but would love insights. Thanks!

Soil mites or springtails. A lot of bugs in soil are harmless to the plant and help break down organic material in the soil ☺️
