Growing outdoors in a smart pot elevated from the ground on a small table. Plant has been looking great and the bug activity seems normal (normal outdoor spiders crawl around it a bit, but no spider mites or other bugs that ive seen). Lately I have found a few leaves with small white patterns under them. The leaves didnt have any visible damage, but I cut them off because i didnt want this to spread. All of the leave I found this on were near the bottom of the plant and were touching the rim of the pot.

Anyone know what this is? Thanks

I don't know which pest this is, but your plant looks healthy, so you need to curb it now.

Mix up Dawn dishsoap in water and mist the entire plant, paying special attention to the bottom of the leaves. Be thorough. After 30 minutes, mist again with plain water (essentially to rinse). Use pH'd water of course.

Do this two or three times a day and it should clear (or help clear) up the issue.

Looks like either spider mites or possibly aphids. If you see a lot of ants around they usually feed on the sweet residue aphids leave on leaves. Get a magnifying glass and really inspect the plant, you should be able to see eggs larvae or adult pest with closer inspection. Good luck !

Spider nests is the only thing that jumps into mind but just to be safe a good idea would be to spray some neem oil with a wetting agent.
