Can anyone help? I noticed the leaves on one of my Calathea have been curing up at the edges, looking at the plant i noticed these white dots on the underside of some of the leaves, any advice on what they are?

Probably a pest of some sort but not sure…best bet is to give it a nice bath and start using something to treat for pests asap. calathea’s are very picky and sensitive though so make sure you use room temperature water and be careful if you use something like isopropyl alcohol…the leaves may not like it

Spider mites?

Maybe use some peroxide instead of alcohol. Definitely a pest of some sort.
