Neem oil with shampoo or hand wash is the easiest and safest. You had shown it in earlier videos. It's very very effective. Even my croton had a severe attack of mealy bugs. And I sprayed the above combination 3 times and the pests were gone
@Arundhati Malviya, I am glad to know it's working for you and thank you for watching my old video as well. Agree with you, it's totally safe and effective!
Very useful information. We can even use 1ml kerosene per ltr water or fermented rice water 2-3ml per litre or mixture of baking soda1teaspoon+liquid handwash4-5drops in 1ltr water. These all methods actually removes the waxy protective layer .
Very helpful video thank you. Here in my garden the problem I have is with aphids, they love my roses 😩 I don't like using chemicals on them as I really don't like to kill them, so this year I will try using the detergent method. I have a problem with vine weevils, they love my heuchera plants, they totally destroyed the roots of many of them and the tops of my plants just totally came off, it was an awful sight. 😔
@s p, You are most welcome and thank you So much for your feedback, much appreciated! Aphids...I too get them on my Roses and first 2 methods work against Aphids too, unless there are not too many Aphids. Sorry to know about your Heuchera plants, they are really very beautiful. Very very rare and difficult to find in my place. But still, I collected once. Unfortunately, it couldn't handle the Summer temperature even though I kept in shade 😔😔
Thanks to your video managed to get rid of Mealybugs that had infested it, the infestation stopped and dried within 24 hours, then I cleaned the plant and cut off the areas where there was some infestation, now its growing well
It's very useful video. I like your video. It's 38th like. I always used neem oil solution. Next time I will try these methods also. I watched full video. 😊Happy gardening😊
I usually grind 2-3 garlics only, mix them with 2-3 litres of water and keep them in a bottle or sealed container for couple hours before applying on my plants.
Good morning Chandan jii🙏🙏🙏 Such a useful vdo which u hv uploaded in correct time.... U r right that in dis season/time so many melibouges hv attacked the plants ... Bt from end of January I hv already started to use neem oil... Every 15 days gap I am spraying to all over my garden plants Thq so much for other home made methods🙏 Definitely i wl try them.. Happy gardening 👍👍👍 Bdw thnqq so much for sharing dis useful vdo 🙏🙏
@Baijayantee Sethi, Good evening Baijayantee jii🙏🙏🙏 You always take very good care of your plants and already doing the important works. Unless situation is severe, I actually don't use pesticide on regular basis...though, I should use :-) I am very glad to know you found the video useful and thank you So much for the feedback, appreciated as always. TC 🙏🙏
@Baijayantee Sethi, No issue and Morning is preferred but we can still do in Evening. Spraying in the middle of the day is not recommended, thank you :-)
Thank you so much for thw great infromation. I'm loving your videos and they are helping me take care of my plants 🍃☺🙏✨ Edit: the neem oil worked great for mealybugs on my fittonia plant 😍👏
Very informative indeed. Ive tried ur suggestions with Neem oil n it works wonders. Keep the passion. We r indeed very grateful. Dhiru Bhikha, Durban, South Africa.❤❤❤❤❤❤ 6:19 😊
My Camilla has shed all its leaves after I sprayed been oil hand wash solution on it to get rid of scales . I am anxious . Will the leaves grow back . Camilla being a slow growing plant and mine is small one........Is my concern . Roots are nice and stem is drying at some places but main stem is green inside though. What do you suggest ??
@Komal mehta, I believe you wanted to say Neem oil. If you haven't used excess amount (more than 7ml), plant won't shed leaves because of Neem oil. The problem is something else. Anyway, Neem oil is organic and it doesn't harm like Chemical pesticide. For Chemical pesticide, if we use 2ml instead of 1ml, we may find issues like you. Sure, leaves would grow as roots are fine. At this time, please avoid watering regularly and don't keep the plant under too much direct sunlight. 1-2 hours of morning Sunlight would be fine. Good luck with your plant :-)
Thank you so much for this wonderful solutions sir.... I have pelargonium inquinans & on this plant also very small amt of bugs were there bt somehow I got rid of this problem... But it's growth is not that much even though I've added DAP & keeping plant soil moist...
Sir mn croton plant purchase kiya use indorr rkha hai ghar ke andar . Abhi white fungus shuru hui hai .use light mn rkhna chaiye to thik ho ayega. Ya ghr ke andar hi What is the reason of fungus
My Gardenias had grown beautifully .Recently they got attacked by caterpillars which stripped off all the new leaves. Plants had grown up to 1 1/2 ft. In 10 " pots. Would it be O.K. to prune all the branches at this time.?
There are mites in the soil of all my Calathea, Aglaonema, peperomia, dieffenbachia. neem oil nd liquid soap solution, surf excel solution, doesn't work, imidacloprid is also failed, now I'm trying diatomaceous earth powder, hope it will help.
We can use neem oil + handwash remedy daily for 4 to 5 days continuously ..for getting rid of mealybugs ? Is it safe for plants ? On daily basis we have to use only on the effected plants?
@Zeba Salim, Azadirachtin and salannin are the major components of Neem oil and yes, seller is correct. It's organic. For the Dose, you can take 5ml pesticide + 4ml light hand wash => Mix them in 1 liter water and then spray on your plant. If you are worried, before applying on the whole plant, please apply only on few leaves and see if there is any side effects. If you don't see any issue, apply everywhere. Good luck :-)
There is nothing to worry if we are using only organic :-) I have found another good organic product and it's Exodus (available on Amazon). But overall saying, Neem oil + Hand wash works perfectly for Mealybugs.
Inside house - Hmm, won't be a good idea as you might not like the smell (please avoid using Chemical one at any cost). Instead, you can try using Lizol Disinfectant Floor Cleaner or Naphthalene balls in their entrance area, good luck!
I worry about spraying disinfectant on the leaves on my plants though. If I use Lysol spray, will it harm the leaves ability to breath and photosynthesize?
Nothing to worry actually...but since you are worried, please make a very light solution by mixing with water. The Chemical pesticides are much more dangerous than Lisol spray....but we can spray easily, whenever needed!
@Namrata Shukla, It's not going to work AND for White Flies or even Aphids, please use either Trap (amzn.to/3is6BTY) or Roket (www.bighaat.com/products/roket-insecticide) The 2nd one is Chemical and First one is Bio Organic. Please also note that, I am sending the link so that you can buy easily or find more info. In 99% cases, I buy most of the products from local store. Thank you and Sir is not required actually :-)
I have lost 3 of my favourite crotons to mealybug.. tried all resorts - neem oil, alcohol wipes , diatom earth powder .. the plant doesnt revert back to the same or it dies 😢 I rather throw the plant away if its severly infested.. i dont want my other plants getting infected .
@VhoRa Muh. Bilal, Really sorry about that and I would be from tomorrow onwards. Sometimes I get overwhelmed...need to do lots for Summer garden, have lots of comments that I need to reply and clearing as much as I can :-) Thank you for your concern though!
I'm just here to tell the truth I was gifted a dragon tree it had mealy bugs all over and in the crevices I showered it 3 days in a row then I let it sit for maybe a week. I still noticed some but not many . I used Clorox wipes and wiped down each leaf and in the crevices . It's been about 5 days since and I haven't seen 1 mealy bug at all 😮 I shocked myself . I keep checking over and over and still nothing . Also the same person gifted me a dying croton it had spider mites I showered it 2 days left it in the shower went back cleaned it with Clorox wipes applied thin layers of Vaseline and kept it under my grow light. No spider mites no mealy bugs no leaf burns discoloration or nothing . I'm happy I even used superthrive foliage spray on the dragon tree and it has new growth all over
Here it is - amzn.to/4aLKnUX If you have less plants, you can buy the either 2 liters one or 1 liter one. I have 2 sprayers from the same brand and both are working well. But still, please check the review before buying. Thank you!

Just grind some cloves & put about 1 to 2 teaspoons on the soil. Works on all plants. Pests hate the smell of cloves. Do this every 2 to 3 months.
Garlic cloves ? Or
Neem oil with shampoo or hand wash is the easiest and safest. You had shown it in earlier videos. It's very very effective. Even my croton had a severe attack of mealy bugs. And I sprayed the above combination 3 times and the pests were gone
@Arundhati Malviya, I am glad to know it's working for you and thank you for watching my old video as well. Agree with you, it's totally safe and effective!
How much shampoo did you use and what kind
@@GardeningUpbeatu
What was the frequency, can you please share?
If shampoo goes in soil it will not harm plant ?
Very useful information. We can even use 1ml kerosene per ltr water or fermented rice water 2-3ml per litre or mixture of baking soda1teaspoon+liquid handwash4-5drops in 1ltr water. These all methods actually removes the waxy protective layer .
Thank you so much for this video I'm going to use these methods on my plants. I was so worried
It tied neem oil and liquid soap and it worked. Thank you

Thank you so much for sharing very important point for mealybug problem
What about the mealybugs in the soil infesting on the roots?
Do they? I confess, my knowledge about plant infestation is very little, yes these bugs attack the roots also.
Thanks to your video managed to get rid of Mealybugs that had infested it, the infestation stopped and dried within 24 hours, then I cleaned the plant and cut off the areas where there was some infestation, now its growing well

Please please can I spray melie plants as well. Please respond 😊
Try Detergent soap + crushed garlic , it's very effective.
Hi Chandran thank you for sharing these tips . I am going to try tip 1 & 2 😂
What is this Surf Excel? Laundry detergent (washing powder)?
There are mites in the soil of all my Calathea, Aglaonema, peperomia, dieffenbachia. neem oil nd liquid soap solution, surf excel solution, doesn't work, imidacloprid is also failed, now I'm trying diatomaceous earth powder, hope it will help.
I think those are not mites as Mites are barely visible to the eye..perhaps Millipedes or Centipedes...Anyway, all the best!
Does the neemoil good for mealy bugs pls
Sure..it is. It's already shown in the video with result..
Can i use the first three methods for pothos plants?
We can use neem oil + handwash remedy daily for 4 to 5 days continuously ..for getting rid of mealybugs ? Is it safe for plants ? On daily basis we have to use only on the effected plants?
Extremely helpful tips! But I feel sad for Mealybugs😂😂😂😂😂

Dettol is a brand name and sure, they have disinfectant spray too - amzn.to/3CyzOp9
I purchase Azadirachtine based pesticide
Can you know how to use it or its effectiveness?
Seller said that this was a organic pesticide 🙄
@Zeba Salim, Azadirachtin and salannin are the major components of Neem oil and yes, seller is correct. It's organic.

Hi, with these methods, will it not affect the greens and other vegetable plants? Can you throw some light on this?
There is nothing to worry if we are using only organic :-) I have found another good organic product and it's Exodus (available on Amazon). But overall saying, Neem oil + Hand wash works perfectly for Mealybugs.

Like wise. Did anything help?
What do you use for cut worm in plants
Can we use it inside house as these mealybugs are on big tree near my house so i can't spray on plant
Inside house - Hmm, won't be a good idea as you might not like the smell (please avoid using Chemical one at any cost). Instead, you can try using Lizol Disinfectant Floor Cleaner or Naphthalene balls in their entrance area, good luck!
Do Savlon disinfectant spray harm the plants??
Super sir thanku very much
@sureka g, You are most welcome and sir is not required actually :-)
After treating don't you wash it off with water or do you let it stay.
Wow ... What a helpfull video dada😮 I used to use hand wash,, but these are great 👍
@Monti Dutta, Thank you So much and glad to know it was helpful :-) Hand wash alone also work against Mealybugs...
Very effective 👍👍 thanks
I love your channel! ❤
Thank you so much for your words, truly appreciated!
Can we use green chilli in place of red one??

Chemical Pesticide
Neem leaves boiled in water
Can we use this for fittonia plant plz reply
Sure, we can...Good luck!
Do we have to remove the dead mealy bugs?
No, not needed. I did just to show that they are already dead 😊 If you like, you can spray water in force so that the plants remain clean.
Just place some ground cloves around your plants and mealy bugs won't even appear. 😊
Ty, I love it. Gonna try it, as cloves have helped me & are very powerful.
"Some cloves" depending upon size of plant or type of plant? Kindly provide number of cloves
SUPERB WONDERFUL AMAZING UNBELIEVABLE AWSOME 😊😊😊😊
detergent powder with mixture of water can kill mealy bug but isit harmful to root?
Sir, can these methods be used for white flies also?
@Namrata Shukla, It's not going to work AND for White Flies or even Aphids, please use either Trap (amzn.to/3is6BTY) or Roket (www.bighaat.com/products/roket-insecticide) The 2nd one is Chemical and First one is Bio Organic.

Beautiful
Using the 1st method burnt the leaves of brinjal and basamathi plant ....sevlon method
I'm just here to tell the truth I was gifted a dragon tree it had mealy bugs all over and in the crevices I showered it 3 days in a row then I let it sit for maybe a week. I still noticed some but not many . I used Clorox wipes and wiped down each leaf and in the crevices . It's been about 5 days since and I haven't seen 1 mealy bug at all 😮 I shocked myself . I keep checking over and over and still nothing . Also the same person gifted me a dying croton it had spider mites I showered it 2 days left it in the shower went back cleaned it with Clorox wipes applied thin layers of Vaseline and kept it under my grow light. No spider mites no mealy bugs no leaf burns discoloration or nothing . I'm happy I even used superthrive foliage spray on the dragon tree and it has new growth all over
can you use something like salt water and spray it on the bugs?
Rubbing alcohol and water mix and spray on the plant leaves
Insecticide soap from any home improvement stores works, apply every 2 weeks until all gone and then each month to keep them off, they r awful
Pl send link of best sprayer like the one wch u showed in ds video at 3.58 m
Here it is - amzn.to/4aLKnUX
If you have less plants, you can buy the either 2 liters one or 1 liter one. I have 2 sprayers from the same brand and both are working well. But still, please check the review before buying. Thank you!
What about the roots mealy bugs treatment
Same treatments can be followed..however, you may find them on top soil, not too deep.
Sir I don't have Neem oil can I replace for it olive oil?
No please, it won't work same like Neem oil..
pls suggest me for spider mites
Please try using Exodus..it's available on Amazon, thank you!
