Qtip dipped in 70% rubbing alcohol, your fav podcast or playlist and go to town removing as many as you can see. You’ll need to buy or make an insecticidal soap spray. Everyone seems to use Dr Bronners Castile soap. The peppermint one is great for deterring pests. There are diff recipes / ratios online, some call for the additional use of alcohol or neem oil. Spray every nook and cranny of the leaves, let sit before rinsing off. Repeat once or twice weekly. Google how to treat mealy bugs for some more eloquent directions. You got this! ### Big Apple Plants kommentierte am 2024-02-06 1/3 cup of hydrogen peroxide 1/4 cup of alcohol 2 tbsp of neem oil 2 tbsp of Dr Bronner’s Castille soap Mix in a spray bottle with warm water --- _Die Planta-Community (https://getplanta.com).
