My worst nightmare has arrived. I have found mealybugs on my bird of paradise. I only found 2 very very small ones. One may have hitched a ride on me the other day. I went to my local nursery and there was section in the way waaayyyy back that had bird of paradises. And they were ALL infested with mealy bugs. I fear that’s how I may have gotten them. I also check my other plants and none of them seem to have any. I did spray the whole plant with perfect plantista houseplant pest spray. How often should I be doing this if I’ve only found a few?

    I usually do a regimen of spraying every three days for a few weeks. Add a systemic next watering.
