Hi! Is this a problem?? Just noticed on these two leaves on 2 different plants that sit next to each other. I’m referring to the white on the plant. What is it?

    Some use Diatomaceous Earth or neem oil, I just simply use alcohol on like a q tip and clean it off like that.

    yes isopropyl alcohol on any fuzzy white things you see and quarantine these plants until they are completely gone!

      Check once a week and dab the returnees with alcohol. Let the soil dry out between watering times. They lay their eggs in the soil.
