They are probably mealybugs

Do they move around? If you see them moving they aren't mealy bugs. They look like white flys. Hose it down. Try to spray them off. You can use neem oil solution and spray the plant generously. Wipe them off before you use the neem oil.
์ข์์ 1๊ฐ No they are not moving. Just stuck there
0๊ฐ ์ข์์ But IF it looks like cotton then it could be mealy bugs. IF they are mealys then spray the plant with alcohol. Also use a qtip and get in the crevices. Keep doing that once a week. And keep that plant away from all other plants.

Those look more like whiteflies than mealybugs. Iโd spray the leaves off with a hose or run it under the sink, then spray the leaves with an insecticidal soap (I use Bonideโs) and add some sticky traps to catch any lingering buggers. Some pests have become acclimated to neem oil and are no longer deterred by them, which is why Iโd try an insecticidal soap. Keep using the insecticidal soap every couple of days until you stop seeing them. Hope this helps.
3๊ฐ ์ข์์ I totally agree with you ๐ ๐ฏ

Maybe aphids? Aphids shed their skin. And can come inside and get on your houseplants.
0๊ฐ ์ข์์ What should I do? Douse her with neem oil?

Looks like juvenile cotton aphids. I see a few adult aphids. White flies will take flight like confetti if itโs white flies Treat by knocking them off with a garden hose. You can use insecticidal soap as a follow-up. ๐ชด๐
์ข์์ 1๊ฐ Ok thanks. These are just staying put no flying
