So i just posted about probable spider mites. And so i check my other potted plant all looked good until i flipped a leaf and theres a ton of white bugs that look just like pictures of aphids ive seen on the net. Its crazy i held a bright light and looked at the underside of the leaf and couldnt see a thing. Now flip over the same leaf looking at the same spots i looked at and there they are. Smiling right at me.
So i made up a warm cayanne pepper/ oxyclean free spray and sprayed the plants.
 
I took some tweezers and pulled all of them off the plant. The very last one got away though. Im gonna post a pic of them when i can (maybe not for a day or two) and you guys can tell me what you think.
 
Neem oil works great, just takes a few weeks. Lady bugs are also effective if you can keep them around. Good luck!
