I just went through that with a curly orchid cactus. Take a Q-tip and some alcohol and get all the ones you can. I'd also fill up a bucket or a stock pot with some soapy water and a little bit of alcohol in it and dunk it. Then pour one part hydrogen peroxide to three parts water through the soil until it comes out the bottom. Put it in quarantine and keep an eye out for more mealy bugs. If you see any, just get that Q-tip with alcohol. This is how bad my plant had them and she looks fine now.Gross, right? Oh and get out a magnifying glass and take a really close look at any plant that was near it. I actually have four in quarantine now because they just looked iffy. ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/MOXcw7te6S9UHjaWvEfp257jXZmEcofyef83nx6UvFY/LE98izyPTfWZxiIVjVJVsQ.webp?size=large) ### MummaDebさんが2024-07-13にコメントしました Taking a close look at the area that it was in, it wouldn't hurt to wash down all those pots and even the windowsill. I'm finding mealy bugs can get everywhere. ### plantmotherさんが2024-07-13にコメントしました I second what deb shared! they like to live in the nooks and crannies so I went through vine by vine and cleaned them with a q tip dipped in isopropyl alcohol. might take a couple rounds of this but you’ll get rid of them eventually! #### MummaDebさんが2024-07-13に返信しました They are obnoxious. I think the secret is definitely the hydrogen peroxide and water mix in the soil. They like to hide in there. #### malsさんが2024-07-13に返信しました my friend told me to drown it in cinnamon water so i just did that. i let it sit for about twenty minutes then rinsed it and went through with some q tips then hit it with some neem oil. unfortunately it was hanging in my greenhouse so i guess i need to check the whole green house now 😩 ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/bgJQ0e0P9SBGijZ17yClgdoh2PYZvMBQ9k9ncVWgDQ8/He-XPwzgQH6Adc_HcRqzFA.webp?size=large) ### Sunnyさんが2024-07-14にコメントしました Remember to recheck it in a week or so. Mealybugs quickly spreads. I dunked my Hoya Krimson Queen in Dawn dishwater. So far, so good. ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/wefqOljjhEOiS9LRzOB1-QhxkVJiB4A5DGumXhnNrhs/gKxC4wkXQQmv-NLOAAaJZA.webp?size=large) #### Tee Jayさんが2024-07-14に返信しました The soil gets saturated with the Dawn too? #### Sunnyさんが2024-07-14に返信しました Yes, the soil gets saturated. That’s where the mealybugs lay their eggs. Dawn is a gentle insecticidal soap. --- _Plantaコミュニティ (https://getplanta.com)。閲覧はどなたでも可能です。投稿、コメント、いいねをするには、Plantaアプリをダウンロードしてください: https://getplanta.com/download_
