Mealybugs on Fiddle Leaf Fig

12 years ago

Dear home plant lovers,

Thank you so much for reading. I have a medium-sized fiddle leaf fig that has been battling mealybugs for a month or two now. I have tried everything: homemade dishsoap spray (smelled nice), homemade garlic/cayenne/dishsoap spray (smelled awful)... Nothing homemade seems to be doing the trick and the bottom leaves are dropping off, slowly but surely. Any tips? If I buy some of those fertilizer/pesticide spikes to place around the roots, how long will it take for the plant to suck them up and kill the mealybugs?

Thanks!!! Ceve
