I too just discovered mealybugs in my succulent collection of over 100- I’ve drenched everything in 70% alcohol and keep checking them. It’s been about a week and a half and so far I’ve only seen tiny white specs. I too made a recent Lowe’s purchase (usually don’t) but I likely wasn’t patient with segregation long enough. Good luck!

Hi Meg,

Thank you!

I'm thinking of hand picking off what I see, then rinsing each stand in an alcohol solution. Most strands have dried out about an inch or so at the soil line and it all needs repotted/ rooted anyway.

This plant is going to make me crazy trying to find out how often to water to keep it happy. LOL!

Most of my collection is outside.

This was hanging in the house, with one other plant about 4' away, I hope it's just the string of pearls affected.

Good luck to you too!

I know these things can be a pain!
