My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

tx for mealy bug

12 years ago

Hi all,

I've discovered a mealy bug on one of my tillandsias. I've read about treating by submerging the plants in alcohol diluted with water but can someone tell me what the ratio of alcohol to water is?

And it's rubbing alcohol right?
