But... You stated in your first post that they didn't jump or fly either. And that they are long and skinny. Its still thrips.
Daisy
Which species of thrips do you think it is Daisy? I only found one so far that goes after Pachira and the OP says from the description that it is not that big.
Also springtails don't necessarily jump unless disturbed and the linear ones (as opposed to globular) are also long and skinny. Just going through a process of elimination, why would thrips be on the soil and not on the plant?
All will (hopefully) be revealed if we can get a photo (or they jump when poked at)
BTW the garden springtail (Bourletiella hortensis), which is not what this is as it's one of the globular ones as opposed to a linear springtail, can damage plants.
