Somehow I doubt you have "good" mites. Mites always start towards the bottom of a plant and in/around the soil. Then they crawl up your plant and leach it for all its worth and multiply like crazy. You should check the undersides of your plant leaves, see if there is any damage or signs of egg laying. Get some miticide to spray on your plant and soil immediately. But if you just want to "hope" these are "good" mites. Then I "hope" you don't lose your entire crop!Yay i got good mites then!!! man im a hoe i use to set traps n kill them
Lemme guess, they're only in the top inch of your soil and around the rim of the pot? Haven't seen any on the plant, yeah? So they COULD be hypoaspis miles, and those ARE a good mite...check out the link...are these the little buggers??
