this is a Jade and she’s riiiiddled with what I think might be the worst infestation of mealybugs I’ve ever seen. Rinse this reeeeally really well in water with some dish soap and isopropyl alcohol — or insecticidal soap — and then keep watching for more and treat as needed

that’s a mealy bug infestation, not too bad. i would recommend hosing the plant off and then spraying with a castile soap solution— a few drops of soap per cup of water in a spray bottle. you can add isopropyl alcohol as well but the soap should be enough to eradicate the bugs with regular application. i would suggest spraying every other day for a few weeks past once you’re sure they’re all gone.
