Mealybugs on Dracaena and Hoya: Alcohol Treatment

White stringy balls on leaf undersides are mealybugs; black spots on Hoya are aphids. Clean with alcohol-dipped Q-tips, then spray 70% isopropyl alcohol every 3 days for a month (until 3 weeks bug-free). Allow soil to dry between waterings during recovery. Alcohol diluted 1:1 with water can be used on skin if same bugs suspected, but plant pests rarely bite humans.
