They look like black aphids. Knock them off with a spray of water from a hose. Neem oil and insecticidal soap are good to spray all over the plant since that are small. Treat the plant once a week until they are all gone. Isolate this plant. Disinfect hands, tools, shelves/tables and under the pot. They can quickly spread.

Watch out for ants that are attracted to the “sugary substance” that the aphids produce. The ants will protect the aphids and can spread them too. At least I have had that problem.

When I picked the pot up, there was an ant under it 🙃
