have done some reading, lots of places say red spider mites are too
small to be seen, and this was about a millimeter long, and have since
seen another. could it be something called fungus gnat i have read
about? i have seen a couple of flies around the room, could these be
from the same source?

the soil in the pot is still damp. it has been for a while since i was
told to water it well by someone apparently more ill-informed than i am,
and as a result i think some of the roots might be starting to rot.
obviously, first thing i wanna do is not water the plants, and let the
soil dry out. would it be worth putting the pots near, but not too
near, to a radiator? im worried these sick little things are going to
damage the only-just regrowing plants!!!





Keep the jasmine as far from the radiator as you can get it, not many
plants thrive in the dry air of a centrally heated house so it will be
worth standing it on a pebble tray and keep some water in that to make
the air around the plant more humid (do not let the pot sit in the water)
We still do not know what sort of jasmine it is, I ask because there are
quite a few jasmines and many more plants which get called jasmine but
are in fact not! it makes a huge difference to the advice.
