Message: [QUOTE="Varuni, post: 89315, member: 4092"] I have a new problematic pest living amongst my indoor plant potted family. I noticed a plant had begun to turn grey, loose its leaves and wither. Upon closer observation the soil was LOADED with little bugs. That day, I discovered that multiple other plants also have these unwanted guests. Here's what I know: 1.) They're not springtails or thrips. 2.) They're about the size of a small grain of salt; visible to the naked eye. 3.) They're exclusively in the soil. 4.) There is NO webbing present on any of the infected plants. 5.) They appear to be some kind of mite? Seen on a microscope, they have six legs, antennae and sucking mouthparts. 6.) They are fleshy/tan colored and are sesame seed shaped.
