Anyone know what these are on the back of the stevia plant? It's watered about 2x per week and has drainage. It gets several hours of indirect sun on a windowsill every day
Probably a type of aphids. They tend to lay eggs under the leaves in random patterns

Aphids, good luck these bastards are the worst, I had an infestation on my outdoor plants last year and it drove me crazy

Spinosad and insecticidal soap, repeat spraying every few days. If anyone has a better solution, I’d love to hear it.

aphids, if available you can get neem oil for cheap and add a couple of drops to a bottle full of water with small amount of detergent so it mixes well and spray it on the plant. After an hour or two, spray the plant with water to wash it away and make sure you don’t spray neem oil and put the plant under direct sun for too long (it’ll get burnt). Do this for a few days and you’ll get rid of stevia
