I’d move it away from the other plants asap. I spray my plants with a neem spray to kill bugs and use the yellow sticky traps to catch bigger ones. Are the bugs you see flying?

@WelefulCow Amen, sister! @UnusualPinkpoui Emily, Amy is right; quarantine that plant ASAP so the beasties don’t migrate to your other babies while you’re trying to figure out what they are.
Speaking of, can you describe them at all? Black? White? Fuzzy? Do they come off easily or do you have to use some pressure and scrape?

I moved the plant outside in the interim! They maybe look like tiny flies, much smaller than fruit flies. Black, not fuzzy, come off easily. A lot of them were actually on the window sill under the pot actually

@UnusualPinkpoui sounds like gnats. Get sticky traps for the adults. I spray the soils with the neem oil and keep it away from other plants.
