Any ideas on what’s wrong with my Mother of Millions? My first thought was mealy bugs, but I couldn’t locate any insects on the plant. I wiped everything away about 2 weeks ago, but it came back fairly fast.

It’s possibly white spider mites based on the debris on the leaves and the fine webs in several areas. Isolate the plant. Check Al the others for infestations. Spider mites will very quickly drain the life from the plant. Treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
