So, I think I might have some springtails in one of my pots. Idk how to get rid of them or even if I should. there doesn’t seem to be a ton of them, but it is a new plant that I have in a room with a bunch of other plants. There’s really not a lot of them and honestly, I spent probably five minutes trying to find one too be able to take a picture of it, but I still don’t want it infestation if it’s not ok to have them and if they’re going to multiply rapidly. Also, I’ve had a plant for quite a bit that randomly started giving me nats and when I put it outside, I’m still seeing nats in my bathroom somewhere. (photo of one that I squished below) How I found out it was that pot was just blowing on the soil and a bunch coming out, but I’ve done the same thing to all my other pots and I can’t find the culprit. I’ve never had any problems. I have gotten two new plants, but one of them is the one above with the springtails and the other one doesn’t seem to have anything wrong with it at all.

i think those might be fungus gnats.. u can use insecticides or repot, and get sticky traps. they can be a pain to deal with and get rid of, but they dont do too much damage. hopefully someone else will chip in with more details on the insecticides, ive never used them before. good luck!!
