Dear Ma'am, Greetings for the day. What you have suggested is half correct. When you are cleaning the plant with spray. It will definitely remove mealybugs but there are lot of chances dropping living mealybugs in the pot along with the eggs. mealybugs lay 100-200 or more eggs in cottony. so better to clean plant in slanting or sleeping position. Spray the plant with suggested soap water. Put bucket under the plant so that all mealybugs along with there eggs with fall into the bucket. Clean the plant till single mealybugs get removed from the plant. drain the bucket in toilet and flush it off. If not possible to clean the plant then cut off the infected branches. and take one chance. Keep the plant under observation for next two three days. Take care. Enjoy Gardening.

[@sandeeppawar3460]

नमस्कार, thanks for sharing. Actually the meallybugs have wax like coating inside which are small 🕷 🐜 the soap helps to break the surface tension of the wax coating. At first stage the solution get ride out the elderly bugs and ants. But the tiny bugs are still safe in the coat. So we can again spray after 3-4 days as it will kill newly hatch bugs. In organic way we can use tobacco water along with garlic and detergent in it. Thanks, grow green and be ever green and healthy.🙏🏻🍀☘️🌿🌴🇮🇳

[@big-bang-movies]

I think while spraying its important to cover the soil with plastic or something just to avoid the soil mixed with soap/shampoo water...else the soap water may damage the pH balance of soil. Or best option would be to use paint brush instead of sprayer.

[@joy1ess]

It definitely damaged my flowers and even after weeks, they're still not flowering like they used to. My guess is the soap has been absorbed by the soil itself.
