Does this adansonii have mealybugs?

This plant seems like it’s doing well but when I looked closer i saw some white residue and damage. I’m spraying with insecticidal soap and hoping for the best

Looks like mealy bugs unfortunately :(

#### Brianna ha risposto il 2023-12-30

Thanks for confirming! At least I know what to treat

### Soup ha commentato il 2023-12-30

To be fair it looks more like a fungus, maybe powdery mildew

#### Brianna ha risposto il 2023-12-30

I was wondering about that since I didn’t see any actual bugs! I’ll have to do some research on treating fungus

#### Soup ha risposto il 2023-12-30

This is the fungicide I use 🫶

Mealy bugs don’t typically hide. Looks more like fungus, as mentioned, or minerals from hard water, fertilizer or similar.
