Had my first ever pest problem. Mealy bugs, what fun!! My Moon Valley went from such a gorgeous little plant to just cuttings. Tore so many leaves trying to get the nastys out of all her crevices. 😪 Here's to hoping the cuttings will make it

So sorry you are dealing with a MB nightmare but it looks like you should have lots of beautiful plants to make up for the destruction of the “momma”.

I hope so, it was one of my first plants when I started this hobby, it'll be nice to not have a total loss. Thankfully no other plants seem have them. Talk about being paranoid though, I've been inspecting over and over for hours!! 😬🙃
