Insecticidal Super Soap Ready to Use – Captain Jacks

You can get it at most hardware/gardening stores. You can squirt some on a paper towel and wipe the tops and bottoms of the leaves of your phal.

I'm not one of the super experienced people here, so I'd listen to others here over my advice, but that's what I would do as a start.

Note that the OP is not in the US so likely will not have the same products available in their local store. The concept of insecticidal soap is a good one - that, or any soap solution, kills insect and arachnid pests by clogging the pores of their body and basically drowning them. Like any "contact" remedy, it only affects the ones that it hits, doesn't get them all so needs frequent repeating. And also only kills adults, not eggs.
