I just use the alcohol on cotton swabs to get rid of the ones visible. Then spray with insecticidal soap. I don’t think it’s as rough on the plant. The alcohol can harm the plant especially if you haven’t removed it from bright light.

Thank you so much I’m not sure what to do with it. I’m not sure if it’s going to pull through or not. Good lesson to learn thank you
