Mealy Bugs

Are white, fluffy, cottony-looking “bugs” about 1/8 inch long attacking your orchid plants, particularly Phalaenopsis types?
Well, you may have an outbreak of “mealy bugs”.
These pests may start in the leaf axils and then infest entire plants and spread throughout your plant collection!

You can control them!!

How?

Combine a half and half mixture of rubbing alcohol and water.
Just spray on the “mealy bugs” and they’ll be gone — Pronto!
Use a Q-tip dipped in the alcohol solution for hard to get ones down in the leaf axils.
