Probably spider mites

Any tips to get rid of them?

I use bonide horticultural spray oil. I had a big spider mite infestation on my balcony, and it was recommended by someone at a nursery

Try adding some plants to your garden that repel insects like Cilantro, Dill, Garlic,etc.

Should I change out the soil too?

That kiiiind of looks like mildew or some kind of fungus maybe? I would get it all the way out of this soil - rinse it all out and maybe even do a dunk in a hydrogen peroxide solution and get it in fresh soil and into a non-plastic pot.

Looks like fungus and not spider webs. It’s caused by water staying too long in the soil. I recommend letting the soil dry out before watering again. Do not strictly follow the Planta app on when to water.

Plastic pots do not promote the growth of fungus. They are safe to use and are used by most nurseries. Fungal growth is caused by overwatering:  
\- watering too frequently  
\- poor drainage  
\- poor air circulation and  
\- low temperatures or low light causing the plant to use less water

You have to address the root cause(s) to permanently fix the fungus problem. 🍀🪴
