So my Buddha’s Temple has some mealy bugs, no damage as I caught it early, but it’s proving hard to get rid of them due to all the nooks and crannies in the plant itself. Should I dunk it in alcohol solution and repot?

    Yes! Dunk the whole thing in an alcohol/water/dish soap solution for a good minute and then sterilize the pot and put it in brand new soil

      It actually might be spider mites, but I think your solutions still applies. What ratio do you do your water/alcohol/and dish soap solution? Mine is just 50:50 rubbing alcohol and water

      Eeeks, yeah I do about 25% alcohol to 50% water to 25% soap, but I guess you could do it in thirds if the infestation is bad enough
