Hi guys! You may have seen my previous post about what’s on my alocasia. I have been treating it with neem oil. There’s more today and they’re white. I am googling this but maybe I’m not asking the right questions. Hoping I get better results from you humans! I don’t see bugs. They look like eggs. What is this??

    Mealy bugs, I believe. Should be good after an alcohol rub down, like Addy suggested. ☺️🤞 good luck!

    No not mealy bugs. (Mealy bug egg sacks are soft and fuzzy white). Its Moth egg babies that will turn into caterpillars and much your plant away like a salad. Just knock them off and dispose of outside. Good on you for catching it before they hatch!

      I waited too long for this alocasia bulb to do its thing. No bugs are going to disrupt our progress! 💪 😂
