Mealy Bugs

Mealy bugs are sap-sucking insects covered with a white cottony substance.

They appear as white cotton-like clusters on stems, leaves, and joints.

Overwatering, excess nitrogen, and poor air circulation encourage mealy bugs.

Spray neem oil or soap water weekly until infestation reduces.

Use systemic insecticides only in severe infestations.

Maintain plant hygiene and avoid over-fertilization.
