How To Reduce Pests & Disease On Succulent Plants By Cleaning

Many succulents are susceptible to a range of pests and disease. But did you know you can minimise and, sometimes completely eliminate them by something as simple as cleaning?
Keeping your growing are clean can make a massive difference to spread of succulent pests such as mealybugs and many fungal diseases.
Mess and clutter are where bacteria and harmful pests like to hide and lay their eggs. Even fungal spores can lay dormant on surfaces around your plants until favourable conditions come round.
In this video we'll have a quick look at what a simple clean can achieve.

I recommended cleaning to someone with plant pests indoors, and she didn't take me seriously. It's great advice!!

I will follow this practice. Thank you very much for another useful video. I will clean up my succulent areas beginning today.

Yay 😀It will be worth it- I promise. I'm always amazed at how well the mealies hide their eggs 😖

Can you provide more details on how you use alcohol on your succulents?

[@SucculentGrowingTips]

I'll try and make a video on this in the next couple of weeks. But, in a nutshell, 70% isopropyl alcohol tends to work well. I'd be careful with plants such as Echeveria as they can sustain burns on leaves. It's also best to do it when cool and overcast/move the plants into shade while treating. Based on feedback i had on other videos where i mentioned alcohol/from customers, it works well for some people but can cause burns for others..
