# Someone please help 😭 I'm about to lose my mind 😅 I had mealybugs…

_Posted by Bodhi\_PlantMama on 2024-03-23_

Someone please help 😭  
I'm about to lose my mind 😅  
I had mealybugs maybe a month or so ago.. treated twice and plants were good. Yesterday I saw some streaks on my bamboo plant. While inspecting other plants, I saw white spots on my monstera.  
I used alcohol and it seemed to turn brown (like mealy).  
Butttt today I look and there are all these white flakey things. Very very tiny. I thought maybe another bug? Whiteflies? Aphid skin? Weird thing is they seemed to pop out more since spaying the insecticidal soap last night, less than 24 hrs ago.  
I have no idea.. can anyone tell??  
Pleaseeee, thank you!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
