HOW DO I GET RID OF SCALES AND MEALY BUGS!?!?!?

[Paul Mc]

I used rubbing alcohol mixed with water, sprayed the plants with it and diligently rubbed the mixture and the bugs off. It took several cleanings but I got them eventually.

The only issue is that the alcohol mixture got into my medium and burned the roots. The p-bulbs have never quite recovered, but there is new growth. If you're going to do this method, then you should repot it immediately as the old mixture will retain the alcohol.
