I noticed these small pests in my Carmona's tray. It looks like there's two different types, the first is small and almost transparent and the second is even smaller and dark. Are they different stages of the same species? I tried taking photos of them but they looked blurry since they were too small and moving too quickly (I'll see if I can catch them again and I'll post the pictures in that case).
I always carefully check the leaves, trunk and soil when I water and I didn't see anything until today. Would neem oil help or should I put something in the soil since I found the pests in the tray?
Context in case that helps "diagnosing" it:

Context in case that helps "diagnosing" it:
- I have had the plant since the beginning of May this year. When I got it some of the leaves had a dark bumpy underside, and within two days some of the old leaves became yellow (pictures attached). After those initial yellow leaves all dropped (it took around two weeks) no new ones appeared since, it's been flowering and growing beautiful green new leaves, though the ones that had the dark underside remained (pictures attached).
- It's being kept inside in front of a very sunny window, temperatures are around 25 celsius.
- I have been watering when the soil feels dry 1 inch deep, and misting in between but not when it's still damp.
- I'm also using a liquid fertilizer twice a month as per my local shop's recommendation.
