My lavender has recently been looking wilted with its leaves hanging. I’ve tried to put it more in the sun, but it didn‘t seem to help. Pot has drainage and I water once every week. It’s a small lavender bush (about 13cm tall) in a 20cm diameter pot.
But then this morning I found about ten of these tiny bugs always sitting in the nook between stems and leaves (the leaf axil? sorry, English is not my first language…). They’re about 2mm big and I also found those small white egg (?) balls…
I struggle to identify the bug, so far I’ve come up empty since comparison pictures on common lavender pests always look very different to what these fellas look like… Now I don’t know what they are or how to get rid of them.
Please help, I just got this lavender less than two weeks ago! 😰
Edit: I forgot to add, right now it’s an indoor plant, but it was kept outside (also in a pot) before I bought it.
