# NEW PLANT PARENT QUERY: Anyone know what this white stuff is? I…

NEW PLANT PARENT QUERY:

Anyone know what this white stuff is?  
I repotted this plant about two weeks ago and I’ve uploaded it to the Planta app to find out what this white sticky stuff I found into parts of my prayer plant. I don’t think the app could see the white stuff and just told me I had overwatered it.

Within the last week, I have moved it downstairs into our basement which is around 21° under a Sol tech Aspect lamp (and sharing the set up which I’m ever so happy with) and I started noticing this white stuff about five days ago. It’s not reduced.

I hope to be able to help my plant because I love it so much… It’s one of my favourite prayer plants and don’t want to get rid of it. And I don’t want to affect the other plants either!

Any help will be greatly received. 🍀

Looks like mealybugs

pro tip- the app sucks at pest ID but if you rate the diagnosis with a thumbs down it can send it to a real person who will respond within a day or two! this community is great too, but i appreciated that feature for sure

Top tip! Thanks 🤩 I’ll do just that.

Yikes, I just battled it as well on my praying plant. I used rubbing alcohol on the ones I could and treated it with an anti pesticide.

If you can, get the Bonide systemic granules and use as directed on the label. Only thing that got rid of my mealy bug infestation and wiped them out in one treatment. I’d also get a qtip and either rubbing alcohol or neem oil and physically remove what you can see.
