sounds like fungus gnats — you’ll need mosquito bits or dunks

I don’t think they’re gnats…they’re white very tiny creepy crawler things. They don’t look like any of the commons pests mention and they’re not really destroying my plants either

How about a photograph so we can actually see these pesky little things?

Perhaps springtails? 🤔 they’re just little bug-moles that help break down organic matter in the soil and give a bit of natural fertilizer lol google will give you lots of helpful info on these! I know they’re so tiny tho, very hard to see what they really look like with the naked eye but they kind of use a little tail to “spring” themselves around the soil 🧐🧐

Yeah let’s see ‘em!!

Oh, are they like the ones in the picture? These are soil mites. I am facing this problem as well. Im using Neem Oil to see how that works, but ive done a little research and apparently you can either repot or use diatomaceous earth.

Maybe a little skinner? And longer

### Tiannaさんが2024-07-01にコメントしました

Yes!!!!

for soil mites I have to fully change the soil, give it a very good rinse, and then spray the roots with hydrogen peroxide. but you could also just leave them be if they aren’t damaging the plant, they will help keep other pests like thrips away
