Tiny white bugs when I water
Hello Everyone.
I've been have a problem with some of my phals when I water. Most of my phals are grown in bark, but when I water one particular plant tiny white bugs crawl onto the aerial roots because, I guess they're afraid to drown. Are these bugs harmful, they don't look like mealy bugs or scales, but I guess they do live in the medium. Could they possible be aphids? I want to get rid of them because I don't know if they're a potential threat to my plant -Eric |

Control is to keep soil on the dry side. |
