yes i can see little things but how visible should they be to my eyes would i be able to see them clearly if concentrated and what colour because just spend 1 hour examination my plant but dont even know what i am looking for.

Take your thumb and gently rub the bottom of your leafs you see little spots on. If there is a green streak on the leaf or your thumb you have mites.
They are smaller than a grain of sand green and move if you watch them.
 
i just did that and nothing, i have been staring at it now but i dont see anything that could resemble a mite just black bits idk soil maybe, i have just sprayed it with water just got to wait and see right?
