Anybody knows what kind of bug this is? My Plumeria has been struggling with it for the last few months. I sprayed it twice with pyrethrin but I does not seem to stop it. Any advice would be welcomed.

    My advice for mealybugs is seperate it from the rest, spray the tops and underside of the leaves, and probably repot it.

    You can get rid of them without too much trouble. Remove the ones you see with alcohol and a Q tip. Then spray entire plant with insecticidal soap. Follow up about every 5 days with same plan. Do it for about two months. Don’t stop spraying just because you don’t see any. Or Neem oil, whichever is your preference. I seem to have less plant damage with insecticidal soap. But even that has caused some damage on a couple succulents.

    I also use a systemic. It’s applied every two months. Doing that routine now.
