When I saw these on mine, I got a lot of different comments on what it could be. Could be thrips, aphids… But mine were mealybugs and they showed different types of symptoms at different times. I would look along the lower base and see if you see any white powdery looking things growing along them.

Defo thirps, these are the larvae form as they are yellow/white, give it a shower then wipe the leaves with a damp cloth every watering. Thirps suck the “juices” out of the leaves making them look dull or brown-ish

Do these bugs go on every plant?

#### Soup svarade den 2024-04-20

Yea they will pretty much go on anything as they can fly

Oh man.. I treated all my plants with bonier systemic and I can’t tell if I overdid it and they are nutrient deficient or if there are still bugs.  
They aren’t rapidly dying anymore, but very dull and just bleh

As long as you add the recommended amount it’ll be fine, the pest damage won’t go sadly, but keep an eye on new leaves, if they look dull then fertilise them more often

There’s these little white dots here as well
