Root vs Foliage Mealybugs & How To Treat Them

Mealybug is THE pest and can wreak havoc on many different plants, not just succulents. To make things worse, one type of mealybugs is a master at hiding.

The foliar-feeding mealybugs can be a scary thing to find but at least they can be seen. But there's another mealybug species that feeds on roots and lives below ground, in the soil. They often go unnoticed until there's a whole load of them.

Mealybugs are one of the worst pests you can get on your succulents and they have some great defences. This means getting rid of them can be hard.

In this video we'll have a look at what both types of mealybugs look like and what the control options are for them.
