I can't tell most pests would be in a large mass on the bottom of the plant ðŸĪ” I highly doubt this but their are either scales(not likely) or spider mites (even less likely) I truly have no idea I'm sorry ðŸĪ”ðŸĪ”

@ElatedAnchistea they don't match the pics of "common pests" so I'm not sure either but I'd rather my $3 plant not spread plant STDs to my other plants 😂
