Noticed this on a stem of my pothos. Does anyone know what it is?

Looks like a mealy bug to me, not exactly sure.

Yep just googled mealy bug and that’s what popped up! Do you know of any preventative measures that would help? They were only on the end of one vine with two leaves and not new growth so I chopped it off 🥲

I would use some rubbing alcohol with a q tip it will kill on contact.

Ugh! Disgusting frightening little jerks. I’ve successfully used neem oil on succulents myself. I usually use a alcohol soaked qtip to remove them then spray the whole plant down with neem oil once a week for several weeks. Make sure to read the directions on the neem oil and let it dry before the plant is in the sun again. Check any plants close by as well. Good luck

Thank you! I ended up repotting after drowning the affected plants in water. And hitting them all with neem oil. I just added two succulents/ 1 cactus to mini jungle I’m working on but now they both are in isolation. I will check them again when I get home today. Because there are four plants I have I definitely don’t want them to get those at all!
