Little tiny bugs in the soil of my Jade plant?
Question:I don't know WHAT these are ... the are SMALL (smaller than a flea - that's the only comparison I can think of.) And they are mostly dark colored - but there were a few whitish ones. They don't seem to be on the plant, so I'm pretty sure they aren't aphids. (The plant is in a pot and indoors if that makes a difference.)
ANY idea what these might be? How can I get rid of them?
Help?

"Spider mites aren't a common occurrence on Jades, but it happens! You will find very fine webs across the bottom of the leaves, or hold a white piece of paper below the plant, and give the branch a sharp rap.. If there are mites, you'll see scurrying little specks on the paper. You can usually take care of spider mites by giving the plant a bath with insecticidal soapy water."
stop growing weed, and maybe the bugs wont come.
sounds like spider mites and you can mix equal parts dawn dish liquid and listerine and it works . the plants love it and the bugs hate it . good luck .
No idea what they are but if you mix in some 7 dust that you can buy at wal-mart it will kill whatever they are without hurting the plant.
put one teaspoon of dishwashing soap in a gallon of water and then water the plant
They could be baby gnats, they live of the fresh soil and dead root´s of plant´s Dry your plant out for a week and they will leave
