So, I got 5 Hoyas from an online nursery, an australis ‘Lisa’, wayetii variegata, lacunosa ‘Sunrise’, villosa, and this publicalyx ‘Chinese Black’. There were also several cuttings. Two of the cuttings and this publicalyx had mealybugs. Not a huge amount, but enough that after treatment and quarantine for a couple of weeks they popped back up on the publicalyx and the ‘Lisa’. Seems to be treated on the cuttings tho as they are finally starting to do ok now I moved them under grow lights. Couldn’t risk it till I was sure. I sprayed the two Hoyas with isopropyl alcohol and used a cotton tip for the ones I could see, then rinsed off with a spray of water, and covered them with a light coating of diatomaceous earth (I used a glitter spray), then moved their behinds outside. I had thought they were ok and moved them out of quarantine and into the main collection; I only just spotted the mealybugs in time! My question is how long is this likely to take to deal with? The weather is finally warm enough for them to stay out overnight, thankfully, but it’s so stressful. I wanted to get some Hoyas to try them out and see if I vibed with them, and I love them! I know it takes ages for them to flower but I liked the idea of flowers inside. I want to get more!!! I’m just a little gun shy after this. I also have a slight problem with space lol. Anyway, I appreciate any help or advice you can give tia
