How do I treat mealybugs on my Plumeria?
Treat mealybugs on Plumeria by using insecticidal soap or horticultural oils, applying them directly to the pests. These products disrupt the protective wax coating of mealybugs, leading to dehydration and death. Use cotton swabs dipped in rubbing alcohol to target individual mealybugs or small infestations. Encourage natural predators like ladybugs and lacewings to help control mealybug populations. Regularly inspect the plant for signs of mealybugs and treat as needed.
