Mealy bugs, I hate them. Spray the plant down really well to knock them off. Dip a qtip in alcohol and brush any leftover bugs off. Then I spray the plant down with castille soap and neem oil. And then keep repeating every 3 days until they’re gone. If you’re not attached. I’d throw it out if I wasn’t attached cause it takes some determination. Also isolate it because it will spread. Check any plants that were close by too

Thank you so much, what is the reason of it?

I’ve read that ants can bring them in but honestly, no idea.

Bugs are just a part of our plant journey. We pick them up outdoors, at stores, anywhere…
