You can't see it well in the picture, but I was going to water my American rubber plant, Justin, and I felt the soil to see if I should water it or not when I noticed a few tiny white dots that were crawling on the soil. What are these, are they harmful, and what should I do about them? Thanks.

      in case you aren’t aware, wait until the soil is dry to water. add a little cinnamon at the top of the soil and bottom water next time if you can. that should help if they are fungus gnats.

    They look a bit like spring tails to me! Try searching these on google. Very common and will not harm your plants🙌
