Oh dear… spring has hardly arrived and I already found mealybugs on an Echeveria! I am using Neem oil to treat my plants this time.

Before recording, I had already lightly sprayed everything in the pot once, but then I thought I should turn the whole procedure into another demo! I mention this video ‘Mealybug SOS – Ants on your Plants?’ – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2MU8… – which shows how certain types of ‘sugar ants’ farm mealybugs on our succulents. You can also watch other videos in the playlist ‘Succulent Troubleshooting- Pests and other problems’ here: https://bit.ly/2P3oEyP
