Anybody willing to offer personal experience and suggestions?

This spider plant has developed these red splotches and irregular coloration in the leaves. Can anyone confirm the cause?

I thought maybe sunburn, but still occurs in less direct grow light exposure. So, I recently treated the plant with Arber products for insects And fungus not knowing the cause.

Today along with the usual pile of tiny granules under the pot which has been common occurrence, I found several tiny worm-like creatures, very light in color on the saucer beneath it. Most weren’t moving, but a few were moving so slowly as though they were perishing.

I was told those piles of granules were made by beneficial insects and I Really hope I didn’t kill off a beneficial pest.

Anyone know for certain?  
Thank you 🪴
