If it were me I’d chuck it, that’s a pretty common plant.If you have other plants you’ll need to check on them, if you see a few they’re much easier to get rid of than this extensive infestation.

If you do want to keep a part of this plant for whatever reason, prop the healthiest leaves and give them a thorough check (maybe even give them a rinse under some water). Then, propagate in fresh soil in a quarantine room/space.

That’s a Succulent? I beg to differ, friend. Put it out of it’s misery ASAP.

Take the plant outside, brush off as much as you can and spray with ‘BioAdvanced insect, Disease and Mite Control’ costs like 10 bucks.

Fighting bad mealy infestations can literally take months. I’d rather just throw out a plant that looked this bad.

I had a widespread infestation across all my plants.
I systematically got rid of every single bug by using cotton buds and rubbing alcohol, just touch them with the cotton bud and they die.
It took an hour or so, but 2 months on and no signs of them.
Saved all my plants.

Get some neem oil and make a solvent with soap and water. Worked for me like a charm.

Spray isopropyl alcohol all over all sides and bottom of leaves. Change soil.

I would just get rid of the plant or chop off most of the top and completely quarantine it.
