Look for stippling on the leaves. Small white or brown spots. Also check for webbing at the base of the leaves and very small round pests. The ones I’ve found on my plants are red body with clear little legs but they can be other colors. A magnifying class would definitely help as they are very small!
Luckily a lot of the pests it could be are treated very similarly. Quarantine her, wipe down all of her leaves, and spray with neem oil until it’s dripping. Don’t wipe it off! Just let it dry and repeat the same treatment in a few days. Keeping that treatment cycle going for a few weeks usually covers it.
I also like using dead bug brew as that can also be very effective with many of the same pests. I’ve also heard that a mix of isopropyl alcohol and water can be effective but have never tried it.
I wish you the best of luck! Dealing with pests is a pain (I’m in the middle of it right now)

@Sofiaemmarinda I called it quits with this one and laid it to rest but for future reference what is dead bug brew? Is that a brand or product or something you make? I try to somewhat regularly use neem for prevention. Thank you!
