Anywhere there is a fluffy white mealybug floof. You can also use a firmer little paint brush to brush them off completely (be sure to kill) or to squish them directly with the brush. Alcohol will not hurt the plant in these small doses. This is all provided there are just a few mealybugs on the above soil part of the plant. If you have a really bad infestation, you have to remove all the soil and treat the root areas too. Then repot in new medium and clean pot.Matthew - The Lents Farmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04322893329475944946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3509171539925075234.post-52651849174995709412017-06-21T16:45:55.825-07:002017-06-21T16:45:55.825-07:00When you say "Snuff out" mealybugs, what...When you say "Snuff out" mealybugs, what are you implying? you apply alcohol on plant itself? only areas of Mealybugs?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03708571538906225564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3509171539925075234.post-55367031425118858012013-12-10T11:13:03.451-08:002013-12-10T11:13:03.451-08:00This one doesn't have much of a fragrance, it&...This one doesn't have much of a fragrance, it's just sort of musty smelling. It's not as fetid at Stapelia gigantea for sure. The flower will last much longer too (about 2 weeks).

It has a bud on it for the first time. Has your Huernia flowered before and does it smell as awful as the flowers of stapelia?<br />Chloristheblooominggarden.wordpress.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00241020433302687248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3509171539925075234.post-16155304847636238412013-12-06T15:47:02.978-08:002013-12-06T15:47:02.978-08:00That is a sweet little thing , where do you get th...That is a sweet little thing , where do you get them from?http://whatsitgarden.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04428564551705151480noreply@blogger.com
