# Help please! I just bought this beautiful new crocatum and found…

_Posted by Emma on 2023-08-24_

Help please!

I just bought this beautiful new crocatum and found small yellow fluffy bits in the soil that looked a bit like fungus. On further inspection there are loads of tiny white balls under it. Is this some kind of mite? Has anyone dealt with these before?

Thanks
