Is it abnormal to have small little white bugs crawling in the soil of my bosnia tree?
My boyfriend gave me a small beginner Bosnai tree that he ordered online for Christmas. I just realized there are tiny little bugs crawling around in the soil. You wouldn't notice them unless you were just staring at the soil and see tiny particles moving around. Is this normal for indoor plants? I'm just weirded out by bugs and don't want them crawling around my room. Will they stay in the soil or migrate out?
Thanks for your help in advance.

Yes, they're probably thripes or mealy bugs, in any case you can kill them by drenching (flooding) the pot with regular old rubbing alcohol. Sounds like it would hurt the tree but it won't, remember how fast that stuff evaproates - it will be all gone in a few minutes. This is how I kill bugs on all my indoor plants.

No, that's not good. Get an insecticide or insecticidal soap and spray your Bonsai and soil, sounds like mealybugs and they will eventually kill your Bonsai.

no. I would find a local grower and ask for the right stuff.
