What Are These Things!?!?!?!?!
Unhappy What Are These Things!?!?!?!?!

Hello, I have had a phalaenopsis orchid for over a year now, and have repotted it as recently as 6-9 months ago. I recently noticed VERY small white bugs on the roots that scurry around upon watering. Though i initially suspected they were harmless springtails, upon taking a digital photo and looking closely, I see no forked tail, and they do not jump. I considered repotting but it now has a shoot and I have NEVER gotten it to bloom since buying it! As I understand it, repotting it will be stressful for it, and it may sacrifice the beginning of the stalk that is sprouting. They do not seem to be damaging the plant at this point, but it's obviously rather unpleasant to have lots of small bugs running all over the bark unless they are helping it in some way. I have attached a few photos in which I have attempted to capture them, but they won't stop crawling and are so small that there are the best I was able to capture. PLEASE help me get rid of them without losing my sprout!!!

-Chris
