    If you can see them then it sounds like soil mites.

    Trying to identify spider mites without a magnifying glass can be difficult. These common garden pests grow to about 1/20 inch long with a white, green, red or yellow body. They generally appear as tiny dots moving across stems, foliage, buds and blooms. Many times, you can find the spider mites clustered together on the bottom side of foliage. A telltale sign of a spider mites infestation is white webbing that covers the plant and the soil around it.
    No matter where you go , there you are .

    I can see with naked eye and they are not so small so i guess its not spider mites,and no of them on stem or leaves,just in soil.
