Isopropyl alcohol/water/dish soap spray or Protect and Feed if you need to go nuclear.

Make dilution of rubbing alcohol with water - maybe 25-75% - with a drop of dish soap. Spray onto mealybugs and plant leaves/stems (NOT roots/soil), they will die instantly as the alcohol penetrates and you can wipe them off. Do this regularly and you’ll never have an issue

Thank you everyone

If you prefer not to spray, dip the end of a q-tip in rubbing alcohol and swipe the Mealybugs. Spaying perhaps if a large infestation.

Okay thank you, I just purchased the plant and about 2 weeks later I noticed a few.
