Greetings! Long time lurker here (like 5+ years) and my stubborn ass is finally stumped enough to ask for help. I've been seeing these tiny white bugs crawling around my pots and coco, but very seldom see them anywhere else on the plant. They are nearly microscopic, they look like tiny white specs and 60x magnification is still barely enough to see tell tale characteristics like number of legs or the presence cornices coming off the back end like a root aphid. They have been around for a few weeks and I haven't seen any of them grow any larger in size. No fliers, no visible leaf damage. I ordered a 1000x digital microscope from Amazon but it is delayed a few weeks. Any and all suggestions welcome. Thanks !

Not a bug guy bit seen these 3 debating on bugs earlier so hopefully they can help.

I hate spraying but:

Mix your plant therapy and spray the entire plant. Give it 10 mins tops and then rinse it down, making sure to get all the medication off the plant or it can block the breathing pores of the leaves.

Could be hypoaspis miles if they are on your pot/tray/base of plant.. they are good!
