mealies on my Sedirea japonica

[camille1585]

I have been so busy the last month that I didn't do my routine weekly check over of my plants. Now I regret it. My Sedirea japonica 'minmaru' is absolutely full of mealies! They are even in the roots. I tried dabbing with rubbing acohol, but the q-tip is just way to big to get between the leaves of the tiny plant! I've also been removing the mealies with the tip of a mecanical pencil. What can I do to get down in the crevises? Is it safe to spray/soak the entire plant with rubbing alcohol (at what dilution)? Any other solutions? Please help me, I adore this little orchid!
