   I’m having a really hard time seeing them.. can you describe them? But for spider mites and most pests I put on gloves and grab a Q tip, some neem oil and a paper towel. I do one big treatment of the neem oil by wetting a paper towel, spraying neem directly on the paper towel too, and then wipe down all of the leaves, stems- making sure to get as deep as I can between the stems, stalks and leaves. Pests love those spots. I also spray the soil with neem, and sometimes I’ll toss some cinnamon on the top of the soil as a preventative. If spider mites I take a straight sewing needle and use the head of it to scrape off the cluster of mites in the crevices of the stalks, leaves and stems. Every week I do a spot treatment with the wet paper towel and neem oil. Don’t hit every leaf with neem every week, do only spot treatments until you see no more pests. Some plants have adverse reactions to neem oil, so do a test spot. You can also reverse image search a close up of the pest and it should tell you what it is! Good luck! Lmk how it goes :)

     thank you so much. they’re like just really small circular brown and they were walking in the soil and then i saw one walking on a leaf. the plant actually seems to be doing well so i’m puzzled. i don’t see any webs unless the white in the soil is webs

     i sprayed it with a horticultural oil spray and i’ll see how it’s doing ina couple days. there are already systemic granules in the soil from a prior infestation of thrips and mealybugs🥲

     Ah poo. Im sorry about the mealybugs and thrips! I just treated my croton mammy for mealybugs. No clue where they came from. I gave her a deep bath 😂 Maybe you have fungus gnats?
