Silver jade plant with white spots. Are the mealy bugs? What would you all recommend as the best treatment? I’m noticing white spots on a few of my succulents. I also think I may have over fertilized! Ugh

Thank you! Do you know what the white spots are

#### Dory replied on 2025-09-07

Apologies, was super busy the other day but yes as was said… mealy bugs, neem oil, “rinse and repeat”

Yes real good rinse , and stray so mealy bug spray on them, or make your own with water and a tiny amount of dish soap, others may add small amount peppermint that they hate or drop of neam oil, then spray again in about 4 days, make sure to check crevices that’s where they lay there eggs

Thank you! Do you think it will only take 2 applications of the soap/water or neem/eater

### cam commented on 2025-09-06
