Does anyone know what these are? They’re EXTREMELY tiny, very round, and a slightly transparent white. I have treated this plant with steinernema feltiae and they definitely don’t look like thrips. The plant itself is doing really well.

Oh I have the same issue with my parlor palm.. idk much about plants so unfortunately I can’t help you but my guess for my parlor was pests

After a google deep dive, I think they’re soil mites. Unsurprising that they’re in only my prayer plant and not in any of the succulents around her. They’re harmless so I’m not worried.

They can be spring tails they like moisturized dirt they’ll won’t eat the plant but dead leaves or wood chips
