I don’t know if anyone can see these tiny little bugs in the soil… But what are they? Are they harmful to my plant? My plant seems healthy. They don’t seem to be able to jump or fly.

Ah so I had these when I repotted some plants, I think they’re soil mites which are harmless! They died after a few weeks though, I guess it was hard to keep the population afloat

If they continue to be a problem, I’ve dropped some neem oil in the soil to clear up soil pests
