Hey guys, I noticed today that my plants are full of these crawlers, they seem to all come out after watering. I also noticed some marks on my leaves, I don't know if they are related. What should I do? Btw does anyone know their name?
They are attracted to moisture and mold. No moisture no springtails.
They are harmless to the plant. I have had them on and off for years in ocean forest. Switched to pro mix again recently. Springtails went away. They eat the decaying organic matter in the soil.

They dont wander around. They will stay and breed and feed whereber the standing moisture is. So if you have a leak under the sink for example they will stay under there.
It does jump when disturbed right? Springtails have a “spring” appendage on their belly they use to jump.
Few more days and it seems something else is there too that's damaging the leaves white dots and spots and some black ones too. It looks like spider mite damage, what can I do?
