How do I get rid of mealy bugs on my AV plant? I would prefer an
organic solution.

Dip a Q-Tip into rubbing alcohol. Touch it to each mealy bug. It'll kill
them and you can kind of swab the mealy bug off the leaf while you're
doing it.

Hi Lynne

I use a fiery chilli garlic spray which is entirely organic. Details can be found on the link below. Hope it helps
