Mealybug—tough to get rid of. Even when you think they’re gone, they’re likely not. I’d suggest googling it so you can decide what method would be best for you. If it were me, I’d toss the plant 😕

Nooo dont toss the plant, this guy looks pretty easy to see them all, lady bug’s in their before the beetle stage will eat them, also you could just wipe them off anytime you see them

They’re mealybugs. You can treat it by carefully wiping it off with a cotton pad or q-tip soaked with isopropyl alcohol, then use a variety of methods to better prevent infection again (others will likely suggest such solutions, but there’s plenty of treatment options you can find through looking it up online) You might want to consider bringing it indoors if it’s been outside and attracting pests.

Any updates on the jade plant? How’s it doing?
