Creepy crawlies in my pelargonium
(lemmy.world)
Anybody know what creepy crawlies is in my attar of roses pelargonium? Had them a few weeks ago, sprayed with soapy water. They died. This morning they were back. The plant is just a tiny little baby, I'm worried it's something that'll kill the plant.
Update: Thanks everyone! I've done a good round of Google -ing now on springtails. Definitely looks like the case . The plant doesn't seem to mind, but I'll keep in mind not to overwater the little baby . Thank you for your advise!
Springtails? You can test by seeing if they jump away from you.
If so, I think they only eat dead stuff. But I also heard they can sometimes chew on roots (and there are a lot of them here...)
Lets hope so! I'm gonna change the soil today, just in case.
