Hi Fern, sorry for the mealies infestation. You were so gracious about answering the personal questions and I think it was the right call addressing the rumours once and for all because they can become toxic. I do believe some people are genuine worried about you, and as long as your privacy and boundaries are respected all should be good😊 Edit: Love the song. Thank you

[@ky-plant-daddy]

Fern❤ You don’t owe any of us any info on your relationship. Share what you want. All the support 🥰

[@wildfern]

Thank you 💚💚

[@ThatGirlShelbyy]

Exactly!! It’s no one else’s business!

[@MikeyDonna]

Your guy neighbors will probably have moved by summer.

[@dee4716]

100% I understand that putting any aspect of your life online opens up a can of worms were people want to know more, think they are in some way owed information! Yes we can all be nosey at times but it's not our business! And some people really over step with the questions/theories!

[@sarahinthesun12]

Came here to say this!!!

[@TropicsandDesert]

I don't blame you for keeping your personal life private. You don't have to explain anything. I'm glad you're happy. 😊

[@elmerhernandez5810]

Not me thinking you were SHOCKED with your variegated alocasia because it had corms, but it turned out to be root mealies 😭😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Anni-Leni]

Yes, same 😂

[@Birgitte1984]

Same 😂❤

[@PLANTYMOTHH]

Same! was like OH when she said it was root mealies 🤣😅😭😱

[@carmenmonteavaro9528]

I am so happy you played your intro song for us. I asked you the name of that song a while back and you answered me right away. You are such a special and kind person and that song makes me feel like you are going to be alright. You have a very bright future and have done so much for such a young person. Thank you for this video and for letting us into your home. It was just beautiful.

[@stephenw.6588]

Truthful Fern: "... so I'm very proud of myself: I tend to get things and then, I'm like - I don't know - they just end up sitting for a while because I'm weird about using things right away... I like to hoard things, I guess". Ahhhh... your honesty is refreshing! Me too!!!! I've got plant lights, aquarium and vivarium goodies, pots and equipment all just crying out to be used, but I'm "not quite" ready yet. 🤷‍♂🙃🥰

[@jenniferoach_]

Fern you are so genuine and cool. Your videos feel like actually catching up with a friend ❤

[@wildfern]

Thank you Jennifer 🥺🌿

[@laurenjohnson5880]

The pups sleeping next to each other is so cute! I miss my cats so much, but every moment you get to have with them is worth it ❤

[@EveThornton443]

Horticultural Therapy could combine your nursing experience with your love of gardening.

[@dawnfiegen3249]

Damn! Those personal questions were PERSONAL!! 😂. You handled yourself with grace ❤ I’m fascinated by the license people feel online. (Though it’s easy to understand how someone can assume you’re one of their besties! ) I recommend you videos all the time.

[@NoRmAsJeAnS82]

Fern!!!! You have really totally and completely come into your own with your channel. Your style of filming and editing always shows who you truly are. You’re so sweet and humble too. So we’ll spoken and very calming to watch. I’ve been here since wayyyy back in the day and I’ve seen your growth and I love it!! You should be very proud of yourself, because we sure are. 🌿💚🪴 and you playing the song during the video was perfect! Gave me goosebumps and everything🙂

[@lisaanglim9588]

Plant those tall slender trees like Italian cypress. Put it along the fence line and they will grow taller than the fence. Give you more private. Like a privet fence.

[@natashaoreilly7072]

I hope you guys have many, many more days with Kaydence 🥺💓 She’s such a sweet girl 🫶

[@wildfern]

Thank you Natasha 🥹💚🐶

[@ritaelliott-cn7di]

Thank you so much for answering my question about the song😊 I even found it on KZbin after you named it and the artist. I watch you, Alice and carmine all the time. Just a soon to be 66 widowed twice, a Grama of 13 mother of 4.... AND A PLANT ACHOLIC 🌱 I'm the proud parent of about 300 plants in my little house.

[@problemium]

Fern, the way you addressed the relationship questions was incredible! I felt it deeply 🩷 My boyfriend has ADHD and because of that our relationship is a little rocky sometimes as well but we always make it work in the end. Breakup doesn’t always have to be anyone’s fault and sometimes people forget that. Super refreshing to listen to your take and i’m happy that’s the case cause i’ve been curious and frankly a little worried for some time now 🌱 Also *your* mealies are especially nasty beasts…

[@dianamassimo]

Fern, I too am disgusted with mealy bugs and have been killing them tiny marshmallows with legs for weeks now. But the truly disturbed look on your face was priceless and had me chuckling even knowing I would've screamed like a little bish and ran 😂

[@vlong7112]

Thank you for answering our questions, battling the sun, and playing THE song 🥰 Your channel is such a delight 🙏🏽🥹🫰🏽❤️

[@hwilson8572]

Fern I have to agree with you concerning the Barina lights. But I like you, am fairly new to them so we both will see!

[@Jen_Eve_Loves]

OMG I croaked at the root mealies 😭 and you waving about the Wilbur graves for ten mins with mealies all over it 🤣 This was so relaxing and honest and just lovely. Good for you for keeping your private life private, gossiping is never good or productive so I understand why you addressed it but good for you for having strong boundaries 🥰 Hope you have a lovely day my friend x

[@brooklin_bernek]

Root mealies and regular mealies are different - root mealies are awful and sooooo hard to eradicate completely - re rooting and treating the stem is important cause they’ll spread like wild fire! DONT NOT WATER WITH THE USED WATER FROM OTHER PLANTS , that’s how they spread

[@Jen_Eve_Loves]

@@brooklin_bernek that’s so interesting thank you. I do water with the run off 🙈 I’ve never had mealies or root mealies but just had my first bout with spider mites and I wanted to burn all my plants

[@Wynter0000]

You're the best plant lady and the sweetest. And somehow you know how to combine both to make everyone so interested. Love watching your videos. 😊

[@RayaCeleste]

I think the reason anyone may have had any thoughts on your relationship, is because you seemed so genuinely hurt when you guys broke up😢 ...we were all getting the posse together to drive across the country and take someone down for hurting you😂. I must admit, its a relief that isnt the issue. I am too old to be *throwing elbows* anyway. So happy for the stability you have found. Im such a fan, and Im loving all of your content on both channels. You are doing a great job 💯👍!!

[@wildfern]

Hahaha! Awww. Yeah, I totally understand. I was hurt, but not by any malicious intent. Break ups are just hard and we definitely butt heads a lot during that time. Thank you for all of your support and for watching 🌿🫶

[@kileyarnao5790]

Root mealybugs and regular mealybugs are two different species. You have to do a soil drenches every 7-14 days for at least 5-6 weeks. In the US we use Azamax but I'm not sure if the Canadian equivalent or if you can get that there

[@wildfern]

I was wondering if they were different species! Thank you so much for sharing that info.

[@margaretcalifano1617]

Root mealies usually look more ‘streamlined’ and tend to stay in the soil. I’m wondering if it’s foliar ones hiding out in the soil? At any rate, the soil had to go!

[@littleheaven70]

Hey Fern, if those mealies were on the leaves too, then the ones in the pot were probably not root mealies but rather normal ones doing their disgusting little hiding-around-the-drainage-holes thing. So at least you're only dealing with one kind and not two. But since they were hiding in the pot, it was definitely worth going full noise and getting rid of it all!

[@greenandsheen]

Okay but why’d listening to the entire song of your outro literally make me emotional? LMAO anywayyy, I loved it. & I love every single one of your Q&A videos bc I feel like I get to know you a bit more each time 🥹 so so grateful for your channel dude. ILY 🫶🏽

[@wildfern]

Thank you so much Jen 🥺💚 and it made me emotional too LMAO that song always hits me in the feels, it feels so sentimental now since I’ve been using it for so long. Thank you for watching bestie x

[@lisaanglim9588]

That Thai pink lipstick plant foliage is stunning 🤩

[@cruelsister1]

Food grade diatomaceous earth cures mealy bugs. Just get a small soft artist brush and paint them on the mealies. It really was a miracle cure for my string of pearls (which mealies love) and my cacti. Before I discovered DE, I had to throw out infested plants cause I was unable to fit them. Never had root mealies, but it should work on them, too.

[@wildfern]

I have some and I’m going to use it!! Really curious to how it will go 🤞

[@j.c7941]

Hi Fern 💫 Thank you so much for this Q&A video. I appreciate that you stand by your decision of privacy and rights on being vegan and we all love you regardless. 🙏🏻 Also, thank you to the person who asked about the song. I always listen through to the song because I love it so much. Stay you girl, you do you so well. 🙏🏻💫

[@itsaxZOMBIE]

Ug girl root mealies killed off a lot of my plants a couple years ago. I found that the PERLITE i was using had mealies in the bag. So… i just got rid of the substrate, washed the entire plant and SCRUBBED the roots, and used clean substrate. I just got mealies again for the first time in ages so im at a point where im about to just bake all my substrate before i use it. Yeah definitely check the roots of the plants on that shelf and clean and wipe your surfaces and tools!

[@wildfern]

Omg in the perlite!!! New fear unlocked 🔓

[@itsaxZOMBIE]

@@wildfern girlfriend im SO sorry!! I didnt mean to do that to you! But yes genuinely it was the perlite and of course they CAMOFLAGE. 🫥 Just double check your bagged substrates, especially if they’re open and things can blow in there and spread 😭

[@RoseGolden0]

I bake my substrate too! I don’t risk it. 450 for 10 mins lol. I basically cook it

[@Anotherliliana]

Thank you for being so open and honest about your relationship! It’s definitely no one’s business but it’s always nice hearing your story and seeing that working on yourself/your relationship is an ongoing process.

[@Lillianv7]

I agree with the last comment/question so much I’d watch a 20 minute video or a 2 hour video. I just enjoy hanging out with you. And you absolutely do need to explain your personal relationship with us. I’m here cause you’re real and you’re collection is normal. There’s ups and downs and not everything is perfect. Social media has everyone thinking life and everything in it should be picture perfect and it’s not. So thank you for sharing as always 😘

[@kristathompson9888]

Oh my gosh the Hoya Wilbur Graves is my #1 Hoya wish list plant! That cover pot you put it in is so pretty 💚💚💚

[@Midwest_Slim]

I'm glad you have his permission to grow your plants!

[@elisagoulay]

I love your answers about veganism. I have been vegan for 6 years and I feel exactly the same way! 🥰

[@brooklin_bernek]

I find it rude when people keep asking about your relationship. I’m so sorry people think it’s okay to just ask those - because we wouldn’t ask someone that to their face when we see them in my opinion !!❤❤❤ I support you 100% always girlie

[@sydneyelise7260]

I agree it’s rude but people absolutely do it to people in person. It’s very weird !

[@Anotherliliana]

So I’ve noticed the same thing with the barrina lights! I hadn’t really thought about other lights being different but they’re the only ones that I have that I’ve noticed some plants don’t like and will almost bleach if they’re too close.

[@lisaanglim9588]

It has the sound of the Moody Blues. They still tour (they were from the late 60’s -early 70’s. They travel with a full concert orchestra

[@fridabuer]

It’s great to see you happy, i’m so happy for you! You don’t need to feel like you have to inform us, i think and hope we all can understand and respect your need of privacy. Happy to see your other dog again, such a cutie

[@plantypittsburgh]

Aw, I miss my first house. Small little two bedroom in a small town. It was so easy to clean! I had repotted neighbors that built a greenhouse in their backyard-- it was fancy. My other neighbors were elderly as well. I lived in a busy road, so it wasn't quiet, but I feel you on the 20 year olds. I've done that too. I'm impressed that one of them has a side hustle. 😆

[@MichelleMonstera]

I love that you found a root mealie infestation while recording! 😅 Love your channel, totally understand keeping things to yourself. ♥️

[@ameliaharper3185]

I was sweating waiting for you to notice the mealybugs on that plant! 🤣😅 I briefly wondered about the boyf when I saw Cadence again, but like many people have said, you don't owe any of us an explantion! People love to imagine drama 🙃It was lovely to hear/see him in the background pottering about though 😆

[@kilec7798]

Oh I'm so happy to hear that Cadence is doing better. She is a gorgeous sweet girl. That would be a good idea to add a fence, the view next door is unappealing and knowing you have a bunch of young guys renting the place, I would certainly do the same thing. Your house is so cozy and I love your windows. It's just about finding that sweet spot for the plants. Take care of yourself 😊and don't over do it.

[@ltink4735]

The dogs sleeping together, all cozy💫🐶😇 So happy for you and your man and the new house! I hope the guys next door are gentlemen even if loud! Sturdy fences make good neighbors!!! Everyone needs mechanic friends;) Totally understand keeping relationships private! Conquer the mealy bugs is the next video. I have a few outdoor plants with aphids and it just happened after keeping this plant for years. Had to chop it. Edit: loved the song! I have limited experience but alocasia seem to attract bugs more than others...... And yes, kids, don't get tats until 25 or even 30 if you think you want tattoos. Also, speaking from experience.

[@laurapezold329]

If any of your plants have been losing leaves or turning yellow, they could also have mealies. I got them soooo bad because I didn’t know I had them and they went to a bunch of my plants. I had to cut all the roots off my plants and reroot. I did try a hot water dunk but did more damage to my plant

[@donnatrigg]

The self call out about not noticing the mealies at 36:51 😂

[@maryelizabeth2096]

Fern i love your chill videos like these. Theyre so relaxing. I play them over and over in the background while i do plant chores. So fun

[@StarbeansBari]

Had to pause quickly to comment: I’ve been using the barrina grow lights for almost 2 years and they are… okay. They do bleach the plants quite a lot and some of my plants hate them. I’ll be looking to replace them soon for sure.

[@sikateako]

Hi Fern, you don't owe us any details of your relationship but thank you for sharing and the only truth that matters is your own. Anyway for those who have been here a long time will know that there was no negativity in your relationship even fron before. I hope you know that a lot of us are just happy for the both of you. 😍 Also happy for Olive and Cadence ❤

[@kathylovejoy2569]

We bought our first house shortly after we were married in 1969, and we were always very much together. After coming up to being married for almost 56 yrs, you really get to know each other. One person will say the exact same thing the other started to say, you know what each other is thinking, literally. It's quite the ride. But people give up way too easy these days, to us, our marriage vows really did mean a lot, we've gone through thick and thing, every couple does. But never even enough to spilt up. Or even think about it.

[@BrittanysBotanicalBling]

You handled all of the questions about your relationship with your boyfriend with such grace. I'm happy for you two and hope that it works out this time. You seem very happy and deserve to be happy! Also, I wish that I had the will and liked enough things other than meat to be vegan. I too love animals so so very much and hate how things are in the industries that produce meat and animal products. Kudos to you for doing you and standing for what you're passionate about! I just hatched out eggs from my friend's flock back in March of this year. They aren't laying eggs yet (not sure what's going on with them because typically they should have by now) but I love them so much! People don't realize the personality that is packed into those little fluffy butts! I love my roosters too! I joined a facebook group called Rooster Allies which is a group that encourages people to be patient with their roosters and embrace them. I have a couple who peck at my feet and legs when they want to be held (I know that's what they're doing because they don't peck me while I'm holding them, but if I put them down they peck again wanting to be held, lol). I'm going on like the crazy chicken lady that I've become, lol...but all that said, I think that you would love having rescue chickens. They're a great pet to have and very fun to watch. Loved the long video and hope the root mealies weren't too stressful and are eradicated!

[@alonathevan]

long video!! yay! you're absolutely slaying the turtle neck!

[@wildfern]

ahh thank youuuu :) you're too kind

[@tammyspears3464]

I love your content! I totally feel the same way about peace and quiet in my downtime from life stress. Relationships thrive the best when you don't involve everyone's opinions. Life is hard enough without extra drama. 💚💚

[@luisamartina9711]

I 100% agree with the last question/comment about your videos. I absolutely love your content and who you are, I happily watch all of every video no matter how long it is. Sending love ❤

[@tripleJs2009]

For root mealybugs, I take my plants outside, unpot and just hose them. Sometimes, I spray them with diluted dawn soap before hosing them down. Then just report using new soil.

[@ThisisChristoo]

Wow you total explained my unknown issue with barrina grow lights, thank you! I always wondered why it didn't matter so much for others and their grow light set-ups but distance with these is so important. I have the white lights and 3-6" seems to be the sweet spot

[@christypan2556]

Maybe you’ve heard this before but I think I saw that you can also thoroughly wash your root ball with warm water up to about 50c for 30 seconds ish, you can also get rid of root mealies

[@wildfern]

Yes, I saw that!

[@ArthurGrey.]

I love that you added the full song in the video! I've always wanted to listen to the whole thing but would always forget. Thank you! 💜

[@jorlandia4363]

My advice for root mealies (currently have them too) take cuttings and ditch the original root ball. That's been my plan of action so far. I've had about 70 plants with them. All hoya and succulent types. Pretty sure it's cause I bottom watered them all after letting them get too dry during my move.

[@wildfern]

I’m definitely going to do that for any more than I may find! Ugh what a nightmare 😩

[@jessicarose1651]

I'm pretty new to your channel, but I appreciate your honesty; It's refreshing. Your page brings me a little slice of happiness and serenity. I admire your collection and feel inspired as if we're sharing a conversation when I watch you. Thank you for being a plant friend 🌿 PS I hunted down a Hoya Linearis cutting and Spent 20 bucks on 4 nodes. I hope that mine will grow to be the shear beauty that yours is. 💚Jess

[@wildfern]

Hi Jess. Thank you for such a sincere comment. Glad to have you here on my channel 🫶🌿

[@cutiecaper]

You do you and what makes YOU happy we love you!!!

[@sydniebrooke4712]

Your outro song always brings me so much joy 🫶🏼

[@kristinwb]

I think you can get a height extension to like 11 feet for the Forest!

[@kkmeilicke]

Thank you for this! Every relationship is different and some have lots of bumps from growing up and growing together. My husband and I dated on and off for 4 ½ years before we married...24 years ago. There's a lot to be said for surviving the struggle ❤️

[@Judy6000]

Hi Fern! 🪴 One way you might be able to display your mother vertical garden could be by suspending it under a floating shelf?

[@alisonhammond4662]

This was a great listen for me today as I was pottering with my plants..personal life is called that..because its personal !..you do you and that suits me just right ❤❤

[@botanicassie]

lol I literally paused the video listened to the song, came back and you said let’s listen to it!

[@barb865]

I love your videos. I'm watching as a non plant person who is intrigued to start BUT...your discoveries of the pests has me totally reconsidering! I'm not good with htses things. I do admire your coping with all of that; very impressive!

[@cassidyburel1009]

Yay Fern!! I’m doing plant chores now, perfect timing!

[@The.weaving.witch.]

Just FYI about your neighbour's and the fence. The law is only 6 ft for your fence but there's no max height of trees. So you can plant a tree fence and that can grow as tall as you desire! It is obviously more maintenence but also more privacy!

[@wildfern]

I have been thinking this!! We have some tall, fast growing trees at the back of the yard that the previous owner planted. I always joke that I wish she had put them along the side instead 😂 I definitely need to look into getting some planted there, perhaps after the fence is installed 🌲

[@rorosplants]

Hi I’ve never heard of those bugs in the roots. I’m so glad I was watching your channel. 😊I love your collection.

[@katyperx8676]

Currently listening to "you make me feel" and I am getting so emotional😓 Thank you for sharing this song. Love you, Fern!❤

[@mackenzieclasen9207]

What is the song called and who sings it? I can’t find it but I NEED to!

[@dianespring3228]

So in other words you’re both just a normal couple trying to navigate a relationship like anyone else. I know the struggle is real not just for you but a lot of people if truth be told. Like I told my granddaughter that is in a new relationship some days you can’t live without them and some days you just wish they would go away to put it mildly. I struggle with anxiety and depression and my husband and family have managed to put up with me for 50 years. Love your channel keep up the great content 😊

[@ThatGirlShelbyy]

Yesss perfect timing! 🥰 I was just about to start some planty chores, so I have something to watch now!! 🥰🪴👌🏼 Q&A’s are always so much fun!! ☺️

[@wildfern]

💚💚💚 enjoyyy! and me too, starting the planty chores soon.

[@karensicard7304]

After you clean off the soil, spray the roots with 3% peroxide. And of course you need to also clean the leaves.

[@karenmyers9146]

Another great video to do my own plant chores too. I’m watering, fertilizing and pest inspection. May try to get my adensonii aurea repotted and on a moss pole.

[@yukikionline]

I was just taking a quick break from doing some plant care, what amazing timing! Going to keep this on in the background ☺

[@wildfern]

happy to keep you company!! I'm going to start some plant care soon myself 🌿

[@christianeriggs466]

I’m so proud of you and love the peace you provide for others ❤️ make sure to keep making time for yourself!!

[@Livinglifetruthfully]

Love that you are being sponsored for tea since you drink so much and I love that you promote drinking tea - not enough folks see it for the amazing beverage and self care that drinking tea brings. Gonna check them out x

[@wildfern]

Awe thanks so much! Tea is the best 🙌

[@mindfulmadeline]

I agree about the barrinas, i have mine in my Milsbo and the plants at the bottom don’t always do very well…

[@samanthachamberlin7650]

Yes! Im so glad you cut the roots off. Root mealies are a BEAST to try and treat any other way. Check EEEVERYTHING near it they crawl along shelves into other plants.

[@CoralBober]

Lol my dogs lose their marbles at the collar sound 😅😂 I love your attention to the details

[@katbattt]

THE SONG! Love that this came up because I got the exact same vibes when I started watching your videos and it ended up as my most played song in my wrapped last year haha

[@veronikgiroux5870]

Thanks for the details on the mealy bugs! With photos and everything! Helpfull

[@laurenjohnson5880]

I've been using barrinas for several years and have the same experience. Each plant has a sweet spot to find, I end up using various sized risers to position them and it has a fun visual effect :)

[@Goddessvibes420]

I just love watching your videos! Youre inspiring!!!! 🖤🖤🖤

[@wildfern]

Thank you Heather 🥺💚

[@paigesofmakeup8573]

So excited for this update! I love knowing more about you and your plants!

[@misscindypalacio]

This was SUCH a rollercoaster with all the pestsss OMG

[@KatrinBogner]

I am so glad you told us a little bit more about your relationship situation. I think that's really all we wanted, no details or not really something personal but just some information on what's going on & if everything is alright because like you said, these on-off things can be toxic and I think a lot of your followers were just worried. I also read the comment spreading rumors and was not sure what to think of it so I am very glad you cleared that up. Because in the end, your relationship sounds like something very, very beautiful. IMO, most relationships don't end because people don't love each other anymore, they end because of the individual people not being able to work on their repetitive, unhealthy patterns & trigger responses from the past and think it's easier to just break it off (which shouldn't sound judgemental at all because it surely is one of the major things in life to work on oneself and its friggin hard). So hearing and seeing that you guys love each other so much that you just continued fighting and didn't stop because deep within you knew you are loving each other and that it is your own responsibility to work on yourselves and make it work is deeply inspiring. It goes back to the saying that everything can be repaired and nothing needs to be thrown out the window unnecessarily. Long comment but I am one of these unapologetically romantic, hopeful optimists that always believe that it can work out if you truly love each other and you guys are a prime example for this. You are not giving up on each other and what you practice is basically what everyone desires: unconditional love. You accept the fact that humans are not perfect and accept each other's flaws but still choose to fight through the triggers together. Because thats what a relationship between two people is: triggering each other and revealing unhealthy patterns to get a chance to work on them. People think they need to be on their own to work on these behaviours but if you don't get triggered you can't work on it. The goal is not to find someone who doesn't trigger you but to find someone who can handle it. And that's the best thing that can happen. People tend to leave when it gets uncomfortable and reflecting on your own behaviour & seeing that you tend to flee in moments like this but at the same time trying to break these past patterns is incredibly inspiring. Lots of love, Kat.🌼 Also: Did you see any changes in your health regarding following the whole foods diet?! I am vegan and aaalways want to do the whole foods thing because I wanna be as healthy as possible but I just love cooking with oil and eating processed foods so I am curious 😂

[@dianecaruthers966]

Today i was repotting some plants and now I'm all freaked out about mealies! Cuz I still have more to do. 😱

[@jessemejones9648]

I've just made my first wire moss pole as I had similar issues with plastic mesh ones. Just be careful with your hands! Kept catching myself on sharp edges

[@hannasoto378]

Can you do a video about all your different grow lights?

[@Lourdes-nc3sp]

Nice!!! I just got home from work!!! What a treat to see you just posted a new video 😊💚

[@wildfern]

Enjoy!!

[@lilicrussh]

Omg you are so cute 😍😱 the reaction to the bird outside was so adorable 🥺 New fear unlocked, thankfully I am pest free except for fungus gnats, but wow now I am scared. Did you think of using systemic? Thank you for all the answers, really don't feel pressured to answer questions about your relationship, like I am grateful you did as we care about you of course. But you keep what you wanna keep, girl 🫶🏻

I got this infestation months ago on a scindapsus and I just sprayed the whole plant with raid and quickly threw the whole plant in dish soap water and rinsed it off. The plant survived and recovered months later.
