VAIO: Do you have a white cloud of stuff flying when you lift or disturb the leaves? It looks like you have 'White Flies'
The last picture I could not see clearly, though they did kina look like 'Aphids'

Shaddecks advise of MILD mild dish washing soap water is great. Just to help it along a bit you could add a few drops of oil in with the soap water...now go out and spritz when ever you see them and they should go away.

this dishwashing mixture will not harm my plant right?

so far these pests have infected as above:
1. Ashoka
2. Palm
3. Bale
4. mums

really worried that it won't infect my new orchids and anthuriums

VAIO: You have that many plants?! WOW!

Mild soap will not hurt or burn the plants. Remember the key word is MILD soap water. Consistency in removing your pest is important. The picture of those plans so bad infestation. So go ahead and start cleaning.

Vaio, you cud get neem leaves?
If you can then boil leaves in water until leaves lose colour. Let tht cool and use liquid to spray your plants.
Or you can pound up the leaves and put in water and let tht stay maybe overnight and then use liquid to spray the plants.

Hmmm, yes great advice sola - i know that neem is a natural insect repellant. I believe u have aphids in one of those pics vaio, the mild soapy water should work or if not of course try d neem. Well if none of those things work, u need to return to the plant shop and u need to know what those things are in order for them to help u more.
