Hey guys, I posted a pic of my orange prince and this is just an update for anyone who commented. UPDATE to everyone who responded and is seeing this now, I confirmed that this is mealybugs. As a relatively new plant mom I’m a bit devastated but I ended up taking a q tip and cotton pads and a size zero paint brush and going on every stem leaf and tiny crevice with a diluted isopropyl alcohol solution which took me around an hour. I removed any white spots I saw, as well as I bought an insecticide to use tonight. The good news here is that none of my other plants seem to be infected or affected by the pests. I found some gnats so I’ll be spraying the insecticide on all of my plants as a preventative, and quarantining the ones close by to the orange prince. I’m still learning how to do all of this, so thanks for all of your help and I hope y’all have a lovely day. 💕 I’ll update in a week or two.

    Hi! I don’t know if you have tried this before but it’s worked for me every time- Also if you mix a 2 cups of water, 2 tbsp Neem Oil, 2 tbsp alcohol and 1 tbsp of peppermint Castile soap shake it up really well and spray the leaves- get a microfiber cloth or gloves and wipe the leaves down 🥰 I hope this helps!!

    Systemic is illegal where I live but I just used this! I noticed the infestation late last night so I’ve done two alcohol wiping sessions and used this.
