This poor little fella has been suffering for the last few weeks. What looks like dirt on the leaves is actually tiny bugs. Any home remedies for getting rid of them? I've washed it a few times to try and get rid of them but they just come back and the new leaves grow the same, with white specks. Thanks!

Thanks! I tried dunking it in soapy water a while back but will give it another go. Should I rinse afterwards?
I think you have to identify the problem first. Could it be white fly. Get a magnifying glass, hold it over a spot and them move your finger on the leaf and see if they fly. Stay focused on one for they are really hard to see. You can also just brush your hand over the plant and watch them fly into the air.
