Small, hard, curling bugs in potting soil (likely springtails or soil mites) resist drying, homemade sprays, and insecticidal soap. They're nuisance pests, not primary plant killers.
Drench soil with pyrethrum (organic insecticide) at label rate. Water thoroughly. Repeat 3 times, 7–10 days apart, to catch hatchlings. This knocks down populations without harming plants.
Yellowing leaves on Easter lily were likely from root disturbance or watering issues, not the bugs.
