My neon Pothos continues to struggle with mealy bugs. I’ve repotted it and treated it but they continue to return. Any advice?

Are you treating the soil? Wash it off completely, wash the pot bring in new soil and apply insecticide soap on the plant every two days for two weeks.

A few weeks back I did repot with fresh soil and treated the roots. They keep on coming back :(

Treat all the plants in the room. Wipe down absolutely everything around the plants including shelves, under pots, and any place the plants sit with isopropyl alcohol. Repeat 2 weeks later and keep repeating until the mealybugs are gone. They come in waves. Good luck!🍀🪴

I’ve been fighting a rather tough mealybugs clan for a month on my Hoya Krimson Queen.

Thanks! This particular plant is already pretty isolated and I haven’t noticed mealy bugs on my other plants. I’ll definitely wipe down the shelf
