@stjepanlukac@mastodon.art You're welcome.
Check out the "cultural practices" part of the UC IPM site. She'll want to inspect her other houseplants (if she's got them). https://ipm.ucanr.edu/home-and-landscape/mealybugs/#gsc.tab=0
And inspect any other plants before buying/bringing into the house.

@ml@ecoevo.social @stjepanlukac@mastodon.art an easy recipe to kill those is to mix water, a few drops of mineral oil and a few drops of detergent (as a solvent) into a spray bottle and spray the infected plants. The oil suffocates the bugs and they die out.
