Mealybugs are often found on the leaves, stems and flower buds of your plants. If a plant is severely infested, consider pruning and removing heavily infested plant parts to prevent the spread of mealybugs to healthier sections of the plant. One indicator of the pests is the development of sooty mold on leaves of plants.
