What’s your treatment routine like?
@MamaLinne Hey Deb, twice I have sprayed the plant’s leaves and stems with a solution of dish soap and 70% Isopropyl alcohol. I thought that after the second spray I had been successful as I didn’t see any signs the enemy for about a week. Then yesterday evening I spot killed a few with an alcohol swab. Then this morning they were back with a vengeance! So I took them out of the soil and doused the roots in some rain water until they looked clean. Afterwards, I wrapped the roots in plastic and then angry sprayed with a solution of more alcohol this time and I separated them into three new pots with fresh soil. I hope I finally got them all!
