So a couple months back this plant had a few mealys— I have since repotted & treated spraying isopropyl alcohol every other week & haven’t seen any mealys since. I noticed these small white “patches” throughout the soil, & I don’t know what it is. I don’t see any movement, wondering if it could be egg sacks bc I know mealy sacks are cottony. But could it also just be part of the roots?
