A gentle blast of water should remove most of them. Repeat as necessary. If they prove to be more tenacious, you can try a pesticide like horticultural soap.

K thanks I actually did give it a shower and some of the leaves were mushy and it stank really bad 🤮 I shudder to think it might happen to the whole plant

Sounds like you have a bad case of root rot too. I would pull the root ball out of the pot and wrap it in paper towels to try to dry it out. You can try removing the soil and replacing with fresh but with all it’s gone through, it might not survive new soil.

K thanks 😊 I’ll have to try that

It might be a philodendron of some sort. If you’re dealing with root rot, you can try to remove as much soil from the roots, trim rotted/rotting roots off with sterile shears, and instead of repotting in soil place it in a vase with water. Might have better luck salvaging it that way rather than sticking it back in soil.

I believe it is a philodendron atom
