mealybugs, please help! 😭😢

my snowrose has been sickly and dropping lots of leaves. I've identified that there are mealybugs (see pic for buildup of fluffy white sap residue). please help, I'll appreciate tips and advice to remove this pest situation and save my snowrose. thank you!

update: I've killed the bugs and changed soil. my snowrose has been repotted into 5 small pots too so it is easier to spot bugs in the future :)
