I would try manual cleaning first with isopropyl alcohol spray. If that doesn’t work then try a systemic if it’s available where you live, but please use it responsibly.

Heyy thanks for the suggestions. I’m close to 86 it honestly but ok I’ll give it on last try.
It’s also isolated because my cat keeps eating it.

Itâs a wrap. And thatâs okay.

You could try snipping off the most-infested parts (ofc making sure to follow the 1/3 rule and avoid trimming more than 1/3 of the plant away so it doesn’t die of shock). Then taking a Q tip, dip it in 90% isopropyl alcohol, and manually wiping each one off and crush it in a paper towel until they’re gone
I did this with the sawfly larva that were eating my rose earlier this year, and it helped immensely. I also had an orchid once that got infested with little fuzzy dudes that kinda looked like this, and the only way to kill them and save the orchid was the same method of taking a wet Q-Tip and pulling them off. Wasn’t too bad, just took a while because it’s a slow process. Good luck!

Mealybugs, to control these find out some ladybird (lady beetle) in your lawns or on other plants. Just place 1 or 2 ladybird, they will eat mealybugs.

Before you do any insecticidal soap, blast them off the plant. I use the garden hose with the angled setting. It works great, even for plants that are very fragile, like this one jade that I kept mangling with the alcohol-on-a-Qtip method. So wash the plant thoroughly, let it dry, and THEN do the soap. And then do it again in a week or two. Also, I know many people swear by dish soap, but I found insecticidal soap much more effective.

Tbh just immerse the plant in water or cut the affected part or throw it there is no recovery tp this and spider mites

70% alcohol. Donât dilute it just spray it!!! Make sure the plant isnât in the sun while the alcohol dries
Once they are under control (alcohol works) you can use a neem oil solution as a preventative.
Might be time to burn it
Isopropyl alcohol works miracles, there’s also some very good specific products for mealy bugs.
