Nepenthes Mealybugs: Bayer 3-in-1 or No-Pest Strip

Rust-like spots + mealybugs = treat with systemic insecticide + fungicide. Bayer 3-in-1 (tebuconazole + imidacloprid) works well.

No-Pest strip (dichlorvos) in enclosed greenhouse kills all pests in a week. Hang near affected plants. Less messy than spraying.

Lighting (3 hrs direct + fluorescents) is adequate—damage was pest-related.
