China Doll White Sap: Mealybugs or Scale

White Sticky Residue = Honeydew from Pests

Cottony = mealybugs; hard bumps = scale. Both suck sap, excrete honeydew.

Treatment (Same for Both)

1. Spray ALL surfaces to dripping with alcohol-soap mix (1:8–10 alcohol:water + soap).
2. Repeat 5–7 days later for hatchlings.
3. Weekly monitoring.
4. Test spray first; avoid sun/heat during application.
