Gabiche--
Unfortunately--many house plants come with 'bugs"--as they are field-grown in Florida.
Mealy bugs are hard to get rid of--as the new "babies" fide in crevices between the
leaf-stems and the plant stem.
Spray the plant down with Horticultural oil. This should suffocate the Mealies.
Keep a sharp eye out--and repeat the spraying as needed.
Keep a bottle of rubbing alcohol and Q-tips on hand. Dab any individual Mealies with it
if you spot any more.
Applying some Systemic to the roots (liquid or granular) will, in time, get absorbed
by the plant and kill any sucking insects on your plant.
Good luck! Gita
