Does anyone have any tips on getting rid of mealy bugs? Things are looking pretty dire for this hibiscus.

I found an infestation of mealy bugs on my succulents. I used rubbing alcohol and a q-tip on all the mealy bugs I could find. And continued to monitor regularly. I also used jacks Neem oil spray and treated the soil with systemic. So far no more mealy bugs.

Sorry for the delay. Thanks for the tips, I’ll give them a try. It flowered recently, so it seems to be doing okay. 👍

Keep your eyes on your other plants for mealy bugs. I just today had to go into combat mode against mealy bugs on my pothos🙂

I’ll keep an eye open 🫡
