It’s been a while since I noticed that my fern just stopped growing.

I’ve kept an eye and noticed that it has little tiny white bugs, I treated the plant with a white oil soap, and then they showed up again, they don’t look like mealybugs.

Do you have any recommendations?  
Have you experienced the same issue?
