Spider mites or thrips, i’m not sure which. You’ll need to isolate the plant and treat it multiple times with an insecticide until they’re all gone. Check all your other plants too just in case. Good luck!

Thank you! Does it matter what insecticide?

These are thrips and they reproduce really fast. Natural options like neem and mitex will kill the existing population but it’s hard to control unless you’re spraying every cycle / 3-4 days.

I recommend a systemic option instead, granules or liquid, to kill them as they hatch and eat the plant.
