Yes, those are spider mites. I use peppermint Castile soap and water to give it a bath (submerge leaves and stems down to the soil), use Captain Jack’s to treat and closely monitor. If it’s around other plants you need to treat those and isolate the worst of it.

but they’re worms… all the white dots that i think you’re talking about are just part of the soil mix

no, but all the water sitting between the leaves will definitely cause issues without ventilation, they need to dry out so it doesn’t rot
