Y’all. I finally lost it with these mealie bugs. I took a Clorox wipe to the entire plant (dracaena). Would I recommend it as a first step… No? Was it effective… Absolutely. 😳

    I’m about to dump a syngonium right now because the mealy bugs are back. I’ll buy another one!

      Honestly, it’s not worth infecting the broader plant population. They are absolutely the worst pest I’ve had to deal with.

    I’ve got a Hoya that I’m soooo tired of fighting with 😩

      I think mine started with Hoya’s… I ended up losing all five of them, as well as a couple Pothos. The mealies ended up infecting most of my greenhouse.☹️

      Oh no! That’s a disaster! I’m sure mine started with this Hoya, infected all of them, but I think I have them under control except this one still.

    Mealy bugs keep popping up on my orchid after I clean it. I might do this if I don’t throw it out first!

      It’s worth a shot. Specially on a plant with waxy leaves like an orchid. I legit had a meltdown moment when I wiped it down. Maybe it’ll be helpful as a final ditch effort.
