Mealy Bugs/ Confidor

21 years ago

I've noticed some mealy bugs on some of my cacti.

Is it OK to spray with Confidor?

I'm also considering making a bath with the solution so I can submerge the plant to clearup any mealy bugs which are attacking the roots. Would this be OK?

Cheers,

    Hey, surfboy

    Confidor appears to be harmless to cacti in any of it's forms. I use the aerosol, but keep it a fair way from the plant. Spray bottle is probably better.

    I like to completely dunk my plants every couple of months and that would be the best time to do it.
