Insects

[Panagioths]

I saw some liitle white insects jumping on my soil small like lice anf they are many...Just on my soil not on the plant.Does anyone know what it is and how to kill it if its harmfull

I can't tell what it is. I would get some diatomaceous earth and sprinkle it liberally over the top of your soil of each plant.

Mites probably

Any chance you can get a better picture? Are you using bottled nutrients or it’s an organic soil with dry amendments?

 

[Panagioths]

Found what it is....Its called springtails and are attracted by high levels of moisture as i read those things wont cause any harm but also eat mold

Panagioths yeah I figured that’s what it was, that’s why I asked because I’m my living soil they’re there. Like you said they love high moisture and my soil has to stay moist from top to bottom. Never had them when I used bottled nutrients because of the whole let your plants dry out before you water thing.
