My goldfish plant had mealy bugs and i treated it. I have left it outside since then and it has two blooms on it, does this mean it is bug free?

not necessarily! keep eyes on it and treat as needed until a few weeks go by with no sign of them

Mine also has mealy bugs. How did you treat it? Seems near impossible with the thick foilage, nooks \& crannies.

honestly, it only had a few bugs (at least what i saw). someone told me to mix water and dish soap with rubbing alcohol and spray it on. i’m not too sure if it worked but I ended up leaving it outside in the summer and it thruvef
