Plus 1 on the leaf hopper. If you have numbers/population you need something strong like Take Down/pyrethrins. Those shits have what looks like armor. They are seasonal but can take hold indoors and start reproducing.

Shake your plants - if you see a swarm jumping around then Take Down...

That was the first one ive seen looked earlier and i noticed was some sticky discrete it left on the plants leaves. Gonna water next with water and peroxide 1/10 mixture to hopefully kill and larvae it may have layed. Or maybe the lady bugs i threw in there will eat the eggs in their is any. And then later on ill spray the leaves with some vinegar mixed with water 1/10 mixture. Do they lay eggs kn the leaves or in the soil?

Could probably get rid of most of them with yellow sticky traps

Dont spray vinegar - that will kill your plant. Acetic Acid commonly used as a herbicide.

Insecticidal soap/lady bugs/take down

If you saw a sticky residue thats from another pest - Aphids.

Generally this time of year leaf hoppers are on the way out. They are seasonal pests and rarely see them inside. Make no mistake tho they can ravage a crop if they start multiplying.
