Root Mealybug Treatment Gone VERY Wrong | Root Mealybugs On Hoyas

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! 💚 ____________________ CHAPTERS: 00:00 Silly Intro 1:08 How Did I Discover Root Mealybugs? 2:06 How Did I Get Root Mealybugs & What Did I Do Wrong? 7:40 What Are Root Mealybugs? 8:40 Treatment Options 9:01 Cut Your Losses 9:37 Root The Plant Again 11:54 Hot Water Treatment 13:00 Hydrogen Peroxide Drench 13:30 Neem Oil Drench 14:13 Systemic Insecticide 14:48 Which Treatment Did I Choose? 15:48 What Went Wrong? 17:28 Dishwashing Detergent vs Soap - Word of Caution 24:43 Positive Examples 27:51 Outro & Final Thoughts 29:47 Patreon Shoutout ____________________ You can find me here: Instagram:   / basie.plants   Facebook:   / base.plants   Twitter:   / basieplants   ____________________ Do you want to support the channel?
