Hi guys. I'm new here. 😀 Well, a friend of mine give to me this plant and I have no clue what's happening. She has those white little things and looks kinda unhealthy. Can someone help , please? 🤯😰

P.s.: I have been trying to add the image but I don't know how to do that.

Hi, there's a guide on how to post images here: https://forum.markstevens.co.uk/d/11-how-do-i-post-an-image
Hopefully that helps?

You mention white things... do you mean small mites, like in the image below?

You can spray the plant and mites with a mixture of dish soap and water and then wipe away. Or you can use something like SMC organic spider mite control. You should also isolate the plant and raise the humidity while you're doing this to keep the population down and help prevent them spreading to other houseplants. If you leave it too long the infestation can overwhelm the plant and they'll do too much damage to save it.

I see support has fixed the image for you. They look like young whitefly to me... any chance of a clear close up of one of them, to help ascertain what pest we're dealing with?
