SOS!! Mealy bugs are taking over!! I brought home fairy plants as indoor plants to start. Discovered mealy bugs on all three. I’ve separated them from the group & treated them with ready to use Neem Oil from Captain Jack. Two seem to be doing well and free of the pests. Third plant died, possibly unrelated to the bugs. Now it’s been more than a month or two and I haven’t brought the two plants back to the group where I intended them to be. Just noticed few of the plants in the group (where I first placed the fairy plants) have webbing & what appears to be young mealy bugs. What should I do to end the infestation!!??!!

    Webbing, like spider mites too?? A systemic granule or liquid is how I dealt with them beforec i started going more towards predatory mites. Ladybug species are more for mealybug, but they usually only eat the larvae stage

      Possibly? I’m not entirely sure. There are clustered webbing strands between plants and what looks like hatched nests.

      Ohh gotcha, hopefully just an egg sac vs 2 pests
