Check for MEALYBUGS!

Updated: Oct 16, 2023

One of many pests that can suck the life out of our much loved plants.

I found these today on a plant in my bathroom. No idea how this pest infiltrated my bathroom, but they can be transported around your garden so easily by water splashing or after brushing past an affected plant and getting them on clothes, tools, hands etc

There are lot of ways to get rid of this ugly pest, but my preferred method is a 60-70% strength spray of IsoPropyl alcohol.

Soapy water or Neem oil will suffocate the little beggars too!

Just be sure to get into all the crevices and soil around the base of the plant to get them all. Repeat regularly to prevent further infestations.
