Are these gnats? I feel like I can’t get rid of them! 😰😔 When I gently blow on the soil they move around like shown in this video 😭. Every watering time, I’ve tried something like mosquito bits and seem to not be able to get rid of them.
-light. I would love some recommendations that have for sure worked for some people! 🥹 thanks in advance!

I think they’re soil mites/springtails: beneficial
ETA: wtf am I being downvoted?
Also, that is cinnamon that is on top 🥹
I hope that they’re just harmless springtails, not mealybugs🙏You can sprinkle diatomacious earth on the dirt and start bottom watering your plant or even change the soil if they creep you out. 👀
Springtails. They’re good guys
Springtails aren’t uncommon in potted plants. They’re attracted to the humidity.
unless your soil is full of mycorrhizae (which they eat), they’re good and help break down stuff in your soil and turn them into co2 etc.
Place your plant in sunlight for some time.
