So I saw some white residue the size of a pin head on two of the stems of my prayer plant. Wiped them off with 50 % alcohol. I dont notice any other symptoms of what might be mealy bugs. I sprinkled cinnamon on the soil. So not sure if it is mealy bugs. Or a fungal? What are other symptoms to look for?
