    Sounds like mealy bugs. Good luck. It is possible to get rid of them. I spent, like, 2 hours carefully applying mild rubbing alcohol to every single leaf surface on my wasabi plant and it did recover! I had thought it was done for, the infestation was so bad.

      When crushed they have small amount of blood. Are they the things? Also a spider is in the plant, can that take care of it?

        A single spider will not be enough to take care of mealy bugs. Sorry, but you really need to use alcohol to kill off an interesting.
