Dang sorry you’re dealing with this! Idk much about mealy bugs but my BOP recently had thrips then I think it started getting sunburn from overall stress. Still going through it but hoping yours and mine get better soon!

1 LikeI am sorry you are dealing with this they can be so tricky to get rid of!! It's super important to stay consistent and to treat once a week for at least 6 weeks. It might be best to get some neem oil and try that. 💚
2 LikesI use Bonide systemic. Needs replaced every 2 months. You may still find a couple on a plant but they are dead. Also use Systemica spray on new plants.

0 LikesI’m sry!! I just realized I have them and I mean so bad my plant was growing mushrooms from the mold on the stems!! I thought I’d been overwatering them and that’s why they were sad 😔. I’m a new plant mom so I didn’t know but I was seeing what I thought was sugar and coming out when I would water them, I guess the ants are they to eat the sticky stuff they leave behind!! I had clippings and they even got to those leaving fungus and black soot even on a painted rock I have in my room!! I’m freaking out!! Did you get rid of yours? I got some stuff that goes in their dirt and also some neen oil to spray on them and put in their dirt tomorrow, hoping that helps!! I started propagating cuttings about a month ago and they finally had roots and now they are just rotted away!! I also got some new plants last week and kept them quarantined and then bright them in my room where all the plants live and I’m sure they have them now as well. Toss is devastating!!
0 LikesI have mealies too right now and every day I check for spots that I dab with cotton swab dipped in alcohol. I’ve sprayed with neem oil and I also just got systemic granules for the larger plants as I have a lot of small succulents. I feel like I caught it early but I’m sure this is going to be an ongoing battle for quite some time. They have spread to MULTIPLE plants! Good luck!
