Re: Clivia

First of all, after two weeks treatment, are there still mealybugs on the
plant? If the infestation is bad, it will be hard to control and perhaps an
insecticide would be a good idea. I cannot give you insecticide names
because I have never had mealybugs and we might not live in the same
country so not the same products are available. If the infestation is not
too bad, what you did or are doing is fine. Keep giving the plants all it
requires normally (water, temperature, light, humitidy, etc.) and keep it
away from other plants untill all signs of bugs are gone.
