These have spider mites, the two spotted variety. There are webs visible, the leaves have white/silver flecking on the top and the leaves are curled under. These can be seen by holding a piece of plain white paper under the leaf and flicking the leaf. The mites can then be seen crawling around on the paper. They look like bits of moving dust. They can be seen better with a hand lens.
