looks like maybe aphids? if they are, i’d recommend maybe investing in some predatory insects :)

Ok thank you!

Aphids, thrips and spider mites. This is bad. Spray this down. Predatory mites will definitely help

Thank you so much! This is what I was wondering if it was more than one thing

This happened with some of mine too! Ladybugs really help. Be careful with any products you use because pollinators love these plants

Aphids. Get a garden hose and spray them off onto the concrete at high noon. Hopefully, the sun will bake them before they fly back to yours plants. I have ants, lizards, wasps and frogs that eat a lot of them. Buy ladybugs to clear out the rest. Use neem oil in the evening to avoid sunburn through the oil if you go that route.
