I’m not here to make mealy friends, I’m here to drown them all away. Mealy bugs will hide in the crevices and suck the life out of your plant one leave at a time. If the plant is small enough, a good soak is welcomed and repotted if needed. In this case this Hoya was overdue for. Repot anyway. You can repeat every 4-7 days but if the plant is not needing watered yet, cover the pot/soil with a bag hand rinse off just the foliage or you can make that solution and add in a spray bottle as well. Castile soap and water is an effective way to get those mealies knocked off the plant and running alcohol for spot treatment will kill them instantly. Mix ½ teaspoon of castile soap in 1 quart of water… or if you’re like me, add until your heart tells you to stop.
Hi, I've been having issues with fungus gnats and I have tried all kinds of things - hydrogen peroxide solution, apple cider vinegar traps, sticky traps and my latest attempt was diatomaceous earth - but I still have a serious infestation, the last straw will be killing my young begonia rex....before we get to that point I just thought I'd ask if anyone could make any suggestions ♡ thanks
Have you tried insecticidal soap and systemic insect control? I've tried to cover all my bases with those two plus diatomaceous earth, and, knock on wood, I've kept them at bay after a scare.
@@emilyharlan12518Soak Mosquito Bit pellets in your watering can overnight then use the infused water to water your plants. If you don't want the pellets floating in your water you can make a tea bag by putting them in a nylon and tying it shut. It will kill the eggs/larvae in the soil. You'll also need sticky traps to get the adults to stop them from laying more eggs.
@@emilyharlan12518U can also put something on top of the soil like rocks...BC they like wet soil but if they can't get to it they will leave the plant alone
I feel you, sister! I had an infestation show up overnight on my arrowhead plant. It was so bad, I sprayed it liberally with organic insecticidal spray and quarantined that b@$&#! I saw a few still, and dosed again and she’s still in solitary confinement. 😢
I'm a gartner apprentice and here is what I learnt to use against mealybugs. I use a mix of water, castor soap and rubbing alcohol in a spraybottle and a soft toothbrush. Spray the infected areas an gentley brush with the toothbrush, I let it sit for a little bit and rinse it of, when I see no more mealybugs. If the plant is very infected I let it sit overnight with the mix on because the remaining bugs will crawl out overnight, and then I can get the rest of then the next day. Works for me but you gotta keep on top of it. When I buy new plants, I often give them a spray before letting them join the family, just to be safe.
My mom had to throw out a bunch of her plants recently thanks to mealybugs. You have to be SO on top of removing them or else they get out of control. Rip Hoyas 😢 I’ve never had them get that out of hand on mine luckily. Hopefully yours stays safe too 😊
Some of my succulents have been attacked by mealy bugs. They're in quarantine but have been surviving like champs. Definitely needed this video and description! Thank you Krystal ❤
I feel even more lucky now! I took a clipping years ago from my mom's Hoya. I heard they were hard to propagate in Colorado, but it's thriving and is nearly as big as its parent plant! Mealies and spider mites nearly took out several plants in my household but never impacted the Hoya. I learned over time how important it was going to be to quarantine newcomers for at least two weeks and monitor them daily. ❤ I'm now the plant nurse at work😊
If you quarantine new plants, clean with insecticidal soap and/or treat with a systemic pesticide, and keep an eye on them, you can usually catch infestations before they get out of control. I've had mealies pop up a few times on my hoya but always been able to treat them before it got bad, though mine are still fairly small.
I’ve had mealy bugs on my orchids and I’ll be honest, I drenched that hoe in alcohol. 70% in a spray bottle. I did 2 treatments (first time I saw them and second time I saw them) and they were gone. No damage to the orchid.
A few months ago I thought there was a mealy. I went psycho on it. Killed it with peroxide, then insecticidal soap, then furniture polish (I said psycho), then drowned it upside down and then... I realized it was 99.9% more likely to be a piece of down from my pet bird, who was starting to molt and was right next to the plant... Sorry philodendron white wizard 😬
I hear that getting predatory bugs help a lot. I used to try and destroy all bugs within sight but then I learned which ones were good and I just leave them be
I experienced mealybugs for the first time not too long ago and watching this short kind of settled my soul about the nasty critters. They were on a HUGE 8 foot long Hoya Sunrise that I bought from someone online. I've never had any pests besides gnats, so I was seriously freaking out. I soaked the entire plant with pure rubbing alcohol 😂 and added SO MUCH diatomaceous earth in my spray bottle with water that I can't even get the stuff off the leaves 😂 So thank you for this short!!!
I did this to a Hoya of mine with mealy bugs. I soaked it with Castile soap and sprayed it with alcohol. I repotted it as well. After the repotting my Hoya was in so much shock that it had more mealy bugs than before I repotted it. But after a week it was doing so well after I gave higher humidity, light, and better soil. Now I can’t find any mealybugs 🎉!
The first part killed me. I have always found the original video that it comes from so hilarious. 😂 I had mealy bugs on my orchids. Got me some bug spray, and they were gone. They’re pretty fluffy and cute for a pest, same with aphids, but I don’t want them on my plants or in my house. So I get rid! 😂
Most of my pest issues have come from plants directly touching window glass. I now have plant stands that sit in front of my windows, but ain't NOBODY ALLOWED to touch the glass or the wall 😂 Haven't had a spider mite nor meely bug in over a year🤞DROWN THEM HOES! (Ps I use cheap standing wardrobe racks for my hanging plants and you can still get that wall of hanging things look without direct contact to window or wall) ❤
Why do you think that is? Just curious on the thought process. I’ve yet to have any pest infestations and I know it’s going to happen. I have only about 40 plants. I used to just bring them home and plop them all down. Now I treat them. But I’m not really able to isolate them very well. But I check them and touch wood I have yet to have any issues.
Agreed! Especially the damn spider mites!! They attack my prayer plant each time it's too close to a window and have nearly killed it twice after I moved to a bug-hood haven. I think it might be proximity... those buggers can't fly or jump, so if a leaf is touching a window, wall, or floor, the life-suckers can more quickly get to the food source with fewer obstacles.
I found that if i removed my pathos from the soil and kept it in water, it was a lot easier to get rid of them. Cause then i could just retreat them as needed. Plus submerge all the leaves for a long time matters. Try an old wash bin.
I learned a neat trick from Miss Orchid Girl regarding mealy bugs. She mists (don't overdo) her plants with leaf shine spray. I got an infestation on my huge Orchid (and other plants) collection, and this trick saved them!
I had mealy bugs show up on my house plants outside on the front porch. I sprayed them they kept coming back. One day I noticed on the back patio mealy bugs on my plants I’m like WHERE ARE THEY COMING FROM? I found a HUGE patch around a tree. I sprayed them a few times on different days and I haven’t seen anymore since then. I think the new neighbors brought them to our neighborhood.
A friend of mine gifted me an orchid a few years back. This orchid is the reason why I don’t like them and how I learned that you should always isolate new plants at first incase of hidden pests. This orchid brought me mealy bugs and infested a few of my other plants. I threw the orchid away and tried to get rid of the bugs as much as possible but it took two years since I fully got rid of them:’) except for that dreaded orchid there weren’t any fatal victims but one of my favourite and first plant got hit very badly and is a shadow of what it once was… but I still have a part of the original plant and it is recovering slowly but steadily❤️
Oh, I hate mealybugs so much! I just lost my beloved ponytail palm to the stupid buggers because I couldn't figure out what the heck was wrong until it was too late. (They're an extra big nightmare on that plant. You practically have to pull it's leaves off to get down in the crevices where they hide!) Best of luck to you!
I have this same kind of variegated hoya and I can't get it to grow like yours. Yours is big and beautiful and full! Mine is growing ten feet in one direction!
Try Arber’s plant care. It’s the ONLY thing that got rid of my mealy bugs, (it also smells delightfully like almonds) and their fertilizer is amazing too.
Clove oil with water add 10 drops shake to mix well, this works on mealys,ants,spiders,roaches, any bug it numbs them to death, does not hurt plants, I use it on all bugs.
With my indoor plants, I just use an imidacloprid drench. There are no pollinators or beneficials in my house, so no reason to not go for quick, easy, and guaranteed death. (Does not work on spidermites, it actually somehow will make them worse.) It's not the treatment for everyone or every plant... But if you have a big plant with a lot of crevices, it might be your only solution other than trashing the plant.

When I see pests on one plant, I get super paranoid and treat all my plants! I switched them all to semi hydro to make pest treatment easier but it’s always panic 😱
A friend told me not too long ago that leaf shine spray helped her to end her 2 year battle with these little critters. I'm not a fan of that spray, but I hate pests more so...
Wait. I literally just did this with my compacta that lives outside for the entire summer once I found a mealy!! Well started to get cold so I checked to see if she could finally come join the indoor planty party and that’s a hard NO. Those lil buggers were still kickin it even after hosing down multiple times with the jet stream and using systemic and neem!! So I resorted to dr bronners which I never even knew anyone used! I soaked the root ball for 30 then flipped the plant upside down and soaked the entire compacta leaves for 30- probably in too strong of a mix- sink or swim time baby!!!
yaas. alcohol those suckers..😂 my mom owns a commercial greenhouse and those things are on everything at some point throughout the year. They love succulents and cactus too. to get rid they take water spray bottles and use 90% rubbing alcohol and mix it with water 60/40. spray all the bugs and they die quickly until the next episode.. a neighbor of mine uses peppermint oil instead of alcohol with about the same ratio. it also makes her home and yard pest free and smell amazing.. I have a big indoor rat tail cactus that they love to cling to and I keep my mini bottle behind it to spray when I see one..☺️
I use systemic houseplant insect killer and bug spray and the initial bath. I spray the dirt too. Good luck they are so hard to kill!!! Don’t get Kalanchoes because mealybug LOVE them, this year the freezing temps can have them!!
I powder the heck out of mine with diatomaceous earth when they get any insect at all. Harmless to people and pets, and super effective. Leave them sit for a few days to a week and then just wash them off.
I don't know how,, but the only two times I've found a mealybug on my plants, it was a only a single one. I removed it and that was that. Then again, I have a kalanchoe that keeps spawning aphids no matter how often I suds it up.
I hit any that I can see with a q-tip dipped in alcohol---then you can see that you've gotten them because they turn brown when touched with alcohol and stick to the q-tip. I did neem oil treatments every week until they were gone, again hitting any malingerers with the alcohol-soaked q-tip. I love the "how are you? I am under the water---please help me...." Thank you for the smile!
I got a few plants from home depot and i got fungus gnats!! My mom got them too bcuz i brought them to her place to get repotted. It is taking a very long time to get rid of them! I got the sticky traps, safer soap and need oil. The neem oil almost killed one plant. Then i got DE powder....it seems to be working so far. But noe my mini monstera had these tiny bugs. They look brownish. Ughhh
Ugh. I don't wanna toss the whole pot of soil in my place, cuz I'm so sure they're coming thru a crack in the window from. Outside cuz my windows suck. I just wanna put a sundew next to the plant for a bit. I put a pitcher plant near one with fruit flies and it helped a little bit...
There's a spray called Ardap. It kills the bugs and keeps them away for at least a month. Not meant for usage on plants but it doesn't hurt them either.
i had mealy bugs on one of my orchids but then i saw tish and all i did to the orchid was put rubbing alchohol to every visible orchid and then i never got pests again
Ive been battling them on some of my plants for over a year! 😢 ive goten azo insecticide and treating them every week and finally am getting on top of them.
I hate those things. Hate. I had a plant that had them, treated it and thought I was good. I went away on a trip and came back to a mealybug takeover of all my plants. It happened so fast. I was so overwhelmed and upset that I tossed everything 😩
I’m not here to make mealy friends, I’m here to drown them all away.

I work at a houseplant shop. Our Hoyas ALWAYS get mealies!
No, don't tell me that! I just bought my first hoya! No sign of bugs yet!!
Get some lady bugs and release them they eat aphids and mealy bugs
Where do I find lady bugs lol I never see any !
Mealy bugs are the reason why I haven't bought any Hoya. They seem to be mealy bug magnets.

@LulaMae21 I may try Hoya later on. I'm currently obsessed with orchids. They thrive under grow lights, I don't have any bright windows for Hoya.
"You jerk!" 🤣🤣🤣

😂😂😂 I completely forgot about that meme! Thanks for the laughs (and as always for the very useful info) Krystal! Hope you’re having a lovely day :)
Man I just found them in the exact same plant the other day! They must really love them Hoyas
I used rubbing alcohol, too. Used a brush, and a sprayer! It worked within a week.

Better safe than sorry.
this video cracks me up, I feel your pain!!
Add neem oil and peroxide to the mixture. It works wonders!! Just make sure you wash the oils off the leaves.
Your Hoya is so beautiful! Those mealies need to find another meal somewhere off your property!
It needs to leave and never come back!
Her use of sounds just gets better and better 😅😂
YOU GO GIRL, I LOVE WATCHING YOU AND THE WAY YOU GO ABOUT THIS THAT COME OUT YOUR MOUTH

I hit any that I can see with a q-tip dipped in alcohol---then you can see that you've gotten them because they turn brown when touched with alcohol and stick to the q-tip.
I did neem oil treatments every week until they were gone, again hitting any malingerers with the alcohol-soaked q-tip.
I love the "how are you? I am under the water---please help me...."
Thank you for the smile!
I got a few plants from home depot and i got fungus gnats!! My mom got them too bcuz i brought them to her place to get repotted. It is taking a very long time to get rid of them! I got the sticky traps, safer soap and need oil. The neem oil almost killed one plant. Then i got DE powder....it seems to be working so far. But noe my mini monstera had these tiny bugs. They look brownish. Ughhh
Ugh. I don't wanna toss the whole pot of soil in my place, cuz I'm so sure they're coming thru a crack in the window from. Outside cuz my windows suck. I just wanna put a sundew next to the plant for a bit. I put a pitcher plant near one with fruit flies and it helped a little bit...
Loved the man from India voice LOL
'and there it is a-fuckin-gain!' 😂
There's a spray called Ardap. It kills the bugs and keeps them away for at least a month. Not meant for usage on plants but it doesn't hurt them either.
i had mealy bugs on one of my orchids but then i saw tish and all i did to the orchid was put rubbing alchohol to every visible orchid and then i never got pests again
Ive been battling them on some of my plants for over a year! 😢 ive goten azo insecticide and treating them every week and finally am getting on top of them.
😂😂😂 I love you for real
🫶🏽 thank you so much love!!!
I spray a soap/water/vinegar solution on mine, it seems to keep under control at least
Mealybugs KILLED my hoya 😢 it was the longest, most drawn out, war I’ve ever waged and ultimately lost her
It’s giving murder investigation. I keep my Hoyas in the open to investigate for mealybugs more frequently
I hate those things. Hate. I had a plant that had them, treated it and thought I was good. I went away on a trip and came back to a mealybug takeover of all my plants. It happened so fast. I was so overwhelmed and upset that I tossed everything 😩
Why did i shake my phone when you said "shimmy that shoil"? 😂
I added neem oil to my bucket of water, let it soak for 5 minutes, then rinsed it off. It worked on all my infested plants. No more mealy bugs 🙌🏼
