IF YOUR PLANT has mealy bugs or spider mites, spray the foliage with a soapy water mixture (Murphy's Oil Soap or strong, organic minty soaps work best) and gently wipe down the foliage every couple of days for a few weeks until the problem goes away. If the problem persists, try dabbing rubbing alcohol on the mites or ask your local nursery for a stronger solution.
