Moved to a new house and now my beloved, and always flourishing, indoor potted Cyclamen Plant has some sort of tiny dark bug visible to naked eye and lots of little yellowish-white 'hairs' that I guess to be the eggs or juvenile form of the dark bugs. They all come off easy when I wipe them off leaves and flowers and stems, but are in the inner parts of plant and top of soil as well and not so easy to clean off of there. Some leaf growth is minorly distorted, flowers quit coming in (but plant may also be going dormant for summer as well).
