I use a bamboo skewer to measure how moist my Paphs are by keeping it in the medium with them. Today I pulled out one of the skewers and it had a little bit of mold (not too uncommon but it hasn't posed a risk and I usually soak those in alcohol) but was covered with these little brown moving dots. I don't know if they were there for the mold on the bamboo skewer or if there just underground (I saw none on any of the leaves)
I was thinking of soaking it in water and adding some soap or alcohol to kill the bugs but the Paph is almost ready to bloom and I wouldn't want to hurt it now, any ideas?
