Unsure about root system on Dendrobium Orchid plus a few questions! Female
Default

Well, more good news... not. I just found a teeny tiny clear bug on the edge of a flower petal. I want to say it looked like an aphid since it almost looked... flea-like? It was just too small to get a good picture of it. I also found a teeny tiny white/cottony bug underneath one of the leaves. My mother removed it but she couldn't say for sure it was a bug. I'm going to assume it was.

Either which way, mealy bug or aphid, it looks like something was eating it's way up or down the stem since I see little droplets of sap every few centimeters. Unless that is normal? Wishful thinking.

So, how should I deal with this as well? Would using a pesticide be beneficial or harmful for the plant or could I just use a soap and water mix, but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be effective for both would it?

Sorry for the question overload. It seems I'm just finding a bunch of things that I need help with tonight.
