A potted lime tree, moved indoors for winter, has soil mealybugs. The owner wants organic control and asks if changing soil helps. The expert recommends 100% pure neem oil (not neem products with added pesticides) and Atomic Grow, a food-based product that strengthens the plant so pests leave. Washing leaves with soapy water is a temporary measure. Changing soil can help but may stress the tree; treat first. Occasional outdoor exposure (rain, fresh air) benefits indoor citrus.
Indoor citrus needs vigilance; organic options work with patience.
