# Mealybugs! My plants are struggling! I found mealybugs on some…

Mealybugs! My plants are struggling!

I found mealybugs on some plants. Ironically the ones that have them are sounding them are ok and growing. Some other plants are not doing well and I am wondering if they have bugs.

My dieffenbachia has been a struggle but it has declined so fast! I did fertilize it with a gentle fertilizer recently, if that means anything

My Dracaena has been amazing from day one! I’ve had it for a while. I did water last week or so, but to see the yellow leaf is concerning, since it has been so happy.

My Alocasia has had older leaves yellow as it has grown, but it seems to me to be too many.

I have some pictures and was wondering if this could be because of the bugs?

Also, should I just treat all my plants? Some do not have signs, but it is hard to see the signs even on the ones that do have them.

Any advice would be amazing!
