If you spot tiny white bugs on your houseplants, you’ll need to know how to get rid of mealybugs fast.
So what exactly are mealybugs? These cotton-like, soft-bodied insects are often found along the veins of leaves, or stems, sucking the sap out of your lush plants. This often results in stunted leaf growth, yellowing of leaves, infected roots and eventually a dying plant. They also leave behind a sticky residue (honeydew) on foliage which allows the growth of mold. What’s more, they tend to feast on tropical plants and succulents — which are some of the more popular houseplants.
