I think my Calathia has pests! Can anyone help? I see these little, sand-like things under the leaves. What should I do?  
I’m also aware that I overwatered it last week🤦🏼‍♀️

Are there webs on or between the leaves?

This is what I use when I notice bugs, fungus or anything weird going on with my plants. I’ll spray it all over my plants and then wipe down the leaves with a microfiber cloth, and then after spraying some into the soil I’ll water it lightly to make sure the solution is working into the soil as well

Looks like spider mites. Go ahead and trim off any majorly infected leaves that are already dying. Then spray the whole plant with 70 percent alcohol. Next, give it a good spray with cool water. Completely drench the plant. Follow up with a good mist of dawn dish soap, a little rubbing alcohol and water. Let it dry and keep it away from other plants and direct light. Keep an eye on it and spray again with alcohol in a day or two. Usually works for me.

Some will suggest neem oil. Personally, I’ve not had success with it. I tend to go nuclear when pests are spotted.
