Definitely a mite
0개 좋아요Mealy bug possibly. Does the plant seem to have areas that look wet/sticky, and maybe fuzzy cotton like residue in the crevices of the plant?

Nothing wet or sticky, but definitely some fuzz.
좋아요 1개Definitely mealy bugs. Please see Mugsy’s comment for treatment. What they explain is how I’ve treated and the only way I know of treating mealy bugs
좋아요 1개Mealy bugs look like they have a little tail. Could actually be cute if they weren’t harmful to the plants
0개 좋아요Definitely mealy bugs. Planta has a treatment plan for this. I would hose down the plant, take a Q-tip dipped in 70% isopropyl alcohol and physically kill and remove any of the bugs you see, and then spray down the plant with isopropyl alcohol or your preferred insecticidal soap/spray. I would check any plants that are around it as part of preventative, treat those plants as well and wipe down the pot and area in which the plant was sitting. I would monitor the plant weekly and if you see any reoccurrence, repeat the treatment. You got this!
