Hi everyone just a simple question, I’ve come across all sorts of pests, but never this? whatever it might be. This is a new plant, bought about three days ago and has been quarantined but I’ve only just got round to have a proper inspection (as been so busy) any clue what it could be? We are talking about the small white blobs btw

Mealy bugs unfortunately

They are terrible but apparently rubbing alcohol incinerates them

I use insecticidal soap after the cotton swab and alcohol inspection. And then spray again about every 3 or 4 days for a few weeks.

I will be sure to give it go, thank you!
