Dish soap is not the same thing as insecticidal soap. It's too bad this tidbit of info doesn't get around as much as the dish soap myth. At least you didn't put vinegar on it.

It looks like it is outside. Is it a shady spot? I don't know where you are, but Begonias should be kept away from too much sun in most places.


Ah! Okay so could that be the reason? It is currently outside but being kept in the shade and on a pebble tray, I hope to bring it inside once the mealy issue is resolved.
