I am in desperate need of help. I looked it up and found that these weren’t supposed to be a threat but came back to find my plant nearly dead 😭 is there anything I can do to save my baby? They are spore/egg like looking tiny white balls

your soil looks extremely dehydrated — the way it comes away from the sides of the pot — and these don’t want to dry out. that’s your problem 😕

I thought that might be the problem. It’s just super weird, I’ve been watering on schedule, I watered 2 days ago and it looked perfectly fine :/

your soil could be hydrophobic. i would try submerging the pot to soak for a bit to see if that helps

Okay! Thank you
