I just want everyone to see what a bad case of mealy bugs look like, in case you never seen.  
I had to throw her out:(

I lost a mollis pilea that was GORGEOUS, my goldfish i think I saved. Had her outside quarantined until the last couple days..but she is by herself in the bathroom. It's been 3 months!

Oh dam. My condolences and fingers crossed that's your only loss 🤞

Wow that is a lot of them. I just gave my blue oil fern a second treatment for a mild case. This time all the mealies were smaller, so hopefully they haven't laid eggs. If not I'll just get em again

#### Mel님이 2025-08-19에 답변했습니다.

What are you treating with? I think I've got them taken care of fingers 🤞 I used alcohol mix

#### Waspinator님이 2025-08-19에 답변했습니다.

I have so far gone with just physically removing them and cleaning the leaves with water. I repotted in hopes of removing any eggs in the soil (though the roots held tightly to the old soil.) If the mealies return again, I'll use either neem or alcohol, but i figured I'd be gentle and not do chemicals and repotting at the same time

I agree with this, my money tree was exposed and I did a very invasive alcohol treatment and a repot; it’s currently still trying to bounce back:(
