I found some white cotton-like fuzzies in the creases of my Echinopsis :( I should’ve gotten a picture, but it’s been removed and treated for what I’m hoping isn’t mealy bugs :( any additional tips?

Make sure you continue to treat - mealies can be tricky little hiders

Thank you so much! That was my second round of treatment, but I’ll absolutely continue to do so!

Are the plants outside? It could just be cottonwood fluff. It’s pretty intense right now in my area. Just a suggestion

I set them outside on the weekends, but this was a different kind of fluff/texture than cottonwood unfortunately

Q-tip dipped in alcohol and do it every few days. Sounds like mealybugs to me.

Thank you so much. I used a spray treatment but I’ll definitely be buying alcohol on my way home
