My orchid is covered with little white bugs

Hello! My noble dendrobium has some strange white furry creatures which seem to secret a substance similar to spider webs. Its mainly on the bottom side of leaves- any idea? Any solution? Thanks in advance for your wisdom!

Oh my ☹️. Yup, mealy bugs. Wipe with wet paper towel them hit the plant with Neem oil.
Those are mealy bugs. Definitely isolate your plant from any others. You can use a cotton swab dipped in alcohol to kill them, and wipe your plant down well. Keep plant isolated and repeat as needed until you haven’t seen any for about a month.
@MamaLinne @CleanTurmeric92 thank you both! Will do. πŸ™πŸ½
