Hoya and Mealy Bugs

Hoya
It is wise to  perform the patch test on a leaf before spraying on the entire plant.  Try first on one leaf and  if its wilts or look damaged in 1 to 2 hours, then you need to dilute your solution.

 

THE COCKTAIL METHOD:

  • 500 ml distilled water mix with
  • half to 1 teaspoon of Neem Oil mix with
  • about 10 drops of liquid soap and
  • one cup or 250 ml of rubbing alcohol (70% Isopropyl Alcohol). If you have only 91%  Isopropyl Alcohol – use 191 ml and add 59ml of water to make 250 ml

This is the very powerful mixture and it may destroy all the mealy bugs in one shot! Completely drench the plant with it – also spray on the top soil surrounding the plant and the pot.

  • Kills tough houseplant pests like fungus, gnats, mealybug, whitefly, termite, aphids, and more.
  • After incorporating the granules into the soil and watering them in, the pesticide is absorbed by the roots where it moves through the plants to assist in protection against the listed bugs.
