Tiny shiny things on my orchids spike Female
Default Tiny shiny things on my orchids spike

So I went to water one of my mini phals and I noticed this little cluster of tiny shiny brownish black things on the spike. There are no blooms on the plant, the last one recently dropped a couple weeks ago but the spike is still green so I'm seeing where it goes from there. But up by the top of the spike there was a cluster of really tiny (like the tip of a ball point pen) things. I don't know if it was bugs or eggs from bugs or what. I don't take a pic (I know, I know). I didn't think of it until after the fact. I got them of with a piece of tissue and flushed them down the toilet. Any idea what they could be???

Oh and they were pretty round and didn't move. I couldn't see legs or anything.

I don't think so. They were like little balls.
