    Pictures will be the easiest way to identify, but it sounds like springtails. Are they in the soil? Jumping around after a watering?

      Yes, that thought came to mind. Appeared after watering. Is it a concern?
      thanks

      Sounds like leaf hoppers or thrips.
      But as others say picture would help.
      Just because people are over 50 doesn’t mean they know everything.
      You can teach a old dog new tricks - But it will still think the old ways are the “best” lol

        I'll put a watchful eye next time I water. I think you're right they're coming from the soil when I water. If so are they going to be a problem,?

          If they are springtails, they’re actually quite beneficial and won’t harm your plant.

          If it’s absolutely infested I might treat the top soil to keep the numbers low, but my experience with springtails was super positive. They stay in the soil and just work their magic.
