Mealy bugs in the planting medium
Hello, this is my first time using this forum, but anyway, I recently picked up several phalaenopsis on clearance due to minor damage. the problem is that my wife and I have spotted mealy bugs on some of them, so we've been trying diferent things to clear them off. However, I've read that they have a habit of moving into the planting medium to escape surface treatments and continue to feed on the roots. Is there anything that will eradicate them from my poor plants from top to bottem? I thought of drenching the pot in a mild borax solution, but I'm not sure if that would damage or kill my orchids outright.
Thanks for your help!
