#### GARDEN GIRL svarade den 2025-04-17

Thank you

I would remove them with a q tip soaked in isopropyl alcohol

#### GARDEN GIRL svarade den 2025-04-17

Ok I will do that right now I’m washing all the leaves off and they’re all going down the drain 😁

#### Squirrelywhirl svarade den 2025-04-17

Good luck!

They are tenacious and can revive a couple of weeks later. Disinfect hands and tools. Wipe down the shelf/table with alcohol. Check the other plants.

### Jenna kommenterade den 2025-04-17

Yep remove with alcohol on a q tip. I spray with neem oil weekly routinely, and for mealy bugs I would also spray with a diluted mixture 1:4 ratio of alcohol to water weekly. Make sure to spray the soil and plant.

#### Squirrelywhirl svarade den 2025-04-17

Yes very good advice!

#### Jenna svarade den 2025-04-17

I had mealy bugs on my purple velvet plant. Surprisingly doing those steps got kid of them quick within maybe two weeks!

#### Squirrelywhirl svarade den 2025-04-17

That’s awesome! I’ve never had them but I’ve heard of the horrors. I have spider mites right now so still fighting my own battle!

We have a ton of essential oils if any of you would suggest those that I should use

### GARDEN GIRL kommenterade den 2025-04-17

Could not should

### GARDEN GIRL kommenterade den 2025-04-17

Thank you everyone for your help

### GARDEN GIRL kommenterade den 2025-04-17

Can I make a spray that has neem oil and rubbing alcohol or should I just do it separate
