# So a couple months back this plant had a few mealys— I have since…

_Publié par Lili le 2025-01-13_

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?

Thank you! I kind of had a feeling. I already rinsed \& soaked \& repotted 😭😭
