Root Mealybug Treatment Gone VERY Wrong | Root Mealybugs On Hoyas

Описание: Hello friends!

Today I wanted to share with you something that has been an ongoing plant challenge in the past couple of months - root mealybugs. Yup! Again! 🥲

I think the main culprits are the mealybugs we found in Hoya subquintuplinervis, but this time they spread to my dear and precious Hoya undulata! How dare they?! 😡

I think I got rid of all of them, but I will still have to keep a very close eye on my hoyas because…You never know!

I wanted to share my experience in hopes it can help you if you go through something like this and so you’d know what to do.
I hope you are having a great weekend and see you very soon with a lighter topic! 💚
