Mealybug

Naughty plant that exhausts the plants, even indoors. Green plants are sensitive to this cochineal which sucks their sap and thereby coats the leaves with honeydew on which a fungus develops. Three good reasons to be wary of the damage caused by this insect which knows no winter rest in our homes.

The fight:if you have the time and the patience, a soft cloth soaked in alcohol passed gently over the leaves.

You can also use a spray of mealybug oil-based product , preferable solution in the event of a cochineal attack on cacti!

Or, the cotton swab and the toothpick. In this case, please let me know your result
