Any bug infestation I encounter with my plants I repot them immediately to get all those pest out of the soil. Then I wipe the leaves down with alcohol and I spray the roots and new soil with Neem Oil and quarantine it away from the other for a few days

Ok so repot how about the drenching part

### Holly commented on 2025-06-17

Should I do anything with the plant before repotting

Wipe down all the leaves so they aren’t being transferred to the new soil before repotting! Even if a couple of stragglers stay in the Neem Oil will get rid of them
