It's a pretty established Hoya with 2 peduncles. One is currently blooming for me. I have had the plant for almost a month. I've been delaying treatment for a bit if I can be honest, but she's separated from my other hoyas. What's the best course of action here? I have been using alcohol soaked q tips, but it seems they are still throughout the plant (tiny babies 🙄). If you look closely, you can see one on the flower stem. Systemics aren't allowed where I live, and I would rather not chop and propagate, but I will if necessary. The blooms smell so good too!

Diatomaceous Earth for the soil (while it’s dry) and keep up with the ISO and qtip… Maybe even just wipe down the entire plant to be safe and put a little drop of iso in all the lil little nooks they try to hide in. Do the ISO wipe and drops once it’s dark so you don’t burn the plant. I’ve been using a spray bottle with iso and peppermint oil for the added deterant. Getting them out of the soil/roots is the hardest. I water propped a pothos and found mealies eating my roots underwater! At least the water magnified them so it was easy to see and pick off 🤣
