Why is everyone telling me what I don’t want to hear?! lol

lol well on the bright side you can spray the Hoya with straight isopropyl alcohol and that should kill them all.

Make sure to rinse it off/wipe it down after though! If you leave the alcohol on there it will likely burn it.

Continue the regimen for several weeks. About every 5 days. You need to kill all the growth cycles.
