Poor thing… my Butterfly Stonecrop has been infested with mealy bugs. I acted fast and treated him by putting rubbing alcohol on the infected leaves… I may have gotten a drop or two of it in the soil. Did I do the right thing??? 😢 😭

Yes! Do not worry. I would take it into the shower too and really spray it down and the soil. You may need to do this a few other times. Keep it separate from other plants!!
