Excellent advice, easy to follow, great timing... how dare you post this comment before I had a chance! 🤣🤣🤣 Look, it's Saturday, I'm a little bored so... here we are. Have a great day, frfr. ❤😊❤
Get yourself a small spray bottle (think $1 store). Next, fill it halfway with peroxide then, spray ALL those leaves on top, underneath, the 365 of the stem & dump the rest all over the potting media. Peroxide = oxygen so it won't hurt our plants, just the buggers that we hate. Now, if THAT trick doesn't work, try mineral oil, dawn dish soap in water mixture. Put this in the potting soil & pray, a lot. 😁 The plant sucks up this mixture & it gets into the plants sap. Mealybugs can't stand it. They hate it so much they leave, forever. 😂 HOWEVER... this is a *very last resort* trick. As some plants don't make it. Especially, if you must do it for weeks, due to a massive infestation. Mine did survive _but,_ they took months to recover from the treatment. Patchy leaves of thick oil inside the leaves, killed off all the buggers. It took months to obtain their original luster. I used it on my whole collection of 8, _20 year_ old, Kalanchoes. It worked, I still have most. ❤❤
Peroxide works too. I used cotton balls and Peroxide to wipe every leaf once a week.. also use a systemic in the water you water it with
Love using peroxide! I would never use systemic on plants that might produce fruit I will consume though.
