Found Mealy bugs on my chinese evergreen’s newest leaf. I have quarantined her and sprayed leaves down with a neem oil, rubbing alcohol, water mixture. I very thoroughly cleaned the entire plant the day i found them and I think i got almost all of them off. it’s been two days and i haven’t seen more, but is there anything else I need to do besides continue to clean the leaves regularly?

No, just keep in QT for several weeks, check her over every few days and pest sprayer

Make sure your spray is dribbling down into the leaf axles since the mealy bugs like to hide down there.
