are those little black and white things on the leaves little bugs? are they moving?

### Cherrybergher commented on 2023-11-13

The little black balls look like thrip poop. If you hold the leaf up to the light you can usually see one or two crawling around.

Thank you all for your responses. After losing all the leaves I think I found the problem. The ceramic pot that the plastic pot was sitting in was holding moisture on the bottom. I’m going to hang on to it an see if it continues to show another leaf.
