Need ASAP help please. I was cleaning out my chameleon cage to clean up the plants and noticed mealy bugs on the pothos (so I assume they are on everything in there). I know I can treat with 70% isopropyl alcohol, but all I have is 90%. Can I just mix that with a little water to make it 70%? I need quick help because I have to get these plants treated and back in the cage so he has hidey, climbey places. Chameleons stress easily.
Yes, you can water it down. Go take care of your sweet lizzy!
3 Likes Thank you for the quick reply. I just took them all out and gave them all a quick shower. I know it says to dab the bugs with alcohol and it will kill them, but that is a lot of plantage to go through to dab. Can I just spray the alcohol all over, or will that hurt the plants and should I just do the dabbing? This is so much harder than with my non-animal-kept plants. I can just spray them with my all-natural pest control. However, I donât know if itâs all-natural for just humans and would still hurt animals, so I need to go the alcohol route (until I research its ingredients more).

0 Likes Oh geeze. I just read I should repot them too. Iâm so confused on if I can keep these in his cage since it says I need to do several treatments.
0 Likes And one of my plants is a VERY picky china doll tree âšď¸. The whole reason I was cleaning out the cage was because the china doll had finally settled down from its last repot and was growing too well :). I needed to rearrange so the schefflera could get light.
