Pests…?! 😫

#Alula

I don’t know if you can tell from the photos, but tiny little white things? spider mites or thrips? I have no idea, I’ve never seen anything like these before (have been lucky with my plants never having pests
🙃)

What do I do?!
6” pot with drainage

Looks like it’s spider mites to me! INSTANTLY isolate it from your other plants. Spray it down with water by tilting the plant (try not to let them just pile up on the soil). Wipe down the leaves and then use Neem Oil to coat the leaves front and back. Let it drip off and try not to let it pool in the middle of your plant. Isolate it and Constantly check and repeat in about a week or so! Be sure to check your other plants and wipe down the area where that plant was. Good luck @Feef
Thank you so much. I have isolated now. Well, I think enough anyway, moved him from the same location as all my other plants to across the side of the room… is that isolated enough? 🙃

I’ll order neem oil too. Anything I might have at home that I can use whilst I wait for it to arrive?

Where could they have even come from?! He’s not new, but none of my other plants have spider mites, and no new plants for the last good few weeks…

Thank you for your help ❤️
