What is it and whyyyyyy

Question

What is this white dust crap Ithought it was fluff after I doused this fool with rubbing alcohol and nothing happened but now that o see them on the round poofs I think it’s a big?  How do I kill them at last?  I’ve used so much rubbing alcohol im surprised the plant is alive, please if possible provide a home remedy as im in Thailand and my ability to communicate/acquire anything is minimal #CactusClique #SucculentSquad

@ThoroughRedflax no need to get rid of, it’s actually a natural protective fluff.

It looks like mold to me🤔 but I don't know so.

@stephongreg do you think this is mealies?

@stephongreg · Answer

@MamaLinne nope, I agree with Marian. It's completely normal cactus fuzz (or whatever the scientific name for it is lol).
