Mealybugs everywhere. Bonide Captain Jack’s. Can also treat with iso alcohol mix, but test first as some plants don’t handle it well. Quarantine away from other plants if you haven’t already.

Mealy bugs – such a pain. Get it away from your other plants, soak a rag in rubbing alcohol and wipe off all the visible white – then check it really well in the spaces where the leaves near each other/stems/underside and get off as much as you can. Spray with a mix of alcohol and a few drops of dawn every time you see them. You can also add a systemic to the soil.

If you have a clear plastic trash can, blow it up and seal the plant inside so you don’t let bugs walk around your house looking for more trouble

[Here’s](https://www.reddit.com/u/charlypoods/s/fB8XxJWjCY) my mealybug treatment protocol I’ve been updating and fine tuning for the last few months. It has been called an aggregation of many methods, so i guess hopefully at least one or two can be applicable for you. It’s really thorough I think and I really do believe in the step by step nature of it. I am always trying to make it more user friendly, accurate, and readable, so it is always a work in progress. If you have any questions, suggestions, or critiques please lmk!
