HELP! I cut back my Calandiva to stem :/

7 years ago

Hi,
Since my bubs was born I have been neglecting my succulents and my beautiful Calandiva was suddenly infested with a tiny scale insect. It was completely covered, every millimeter, so I started to scrape of the scale, I used rubbing alcoholic as well but I couldn't get to all of the stem and leaves. Soooo...
I started trimming and in my rush to get it done before bubs woke up I trimmed it down to the stem. It's a healthy looking stem, I think, but now I'm worried in my haste to get all the scale I may have killed it. What do you think? Will my Calandiva grow again?
Cheers.
