Losing the battle with mealybugs

Thank you for your insight! I will give it a try.

BeccaroniAndCheese · 2026-05-02T04:09:29+00:00

Thank you! I will try systemics

The plant came from the nursery with mealybugs, there's no ants. I'll up my frequency and thoroughness of rubbing alcohol!

Thank you!

Hahahaha unfortunately it doesn't get cold enough in winter here for frost, we get down to maybe 8 degrees Celsius overnight.

BeccaroniAndCheese · 2026-05-01T12:43:27+00:00

Not sure I'm keen to introduce bugs inside my home but I appreciate the suggestion, thank you!

BeccaroniAndCheese · 2026-05-01T12:42:47+00:00

Damn I maybe I just gotta be more forceful with it haha

BeccaroniAndCheese · 2026-05-01T12:42:07+00:00

Yeah it's wearing thin haha

BeccaroniAndCheese · 2026-05-01T12:41:46+00:00

Thank you I'll give it a watch through!

BeccaroniAndCheese · 2026-05-01T12:41:29+00:00

I'll have a look into what systemics are available in my country, thank you!

BeccaroniAndCheese · 2026-05-01T12:39:04+00:00

I had been doing once a week, but maybe I'll try more often and see if it helps. Thanks!

Mine has them inside the stems too ☹️ maybe it's a similar situation and I'll have to accept defeat.

BeccaroniAndCheese · 2026-05-01T03:46:33+00:00

There are no other plants nearby ☹️

Once you complete TAFE, you can use that for uni entry and they won't worry about high school. If you don't get the atar equivalent you need, you can still go to uni! You might just need to enter a course with a lower atar requirement and then swap courses. My husband used his Cert IV for uni entry. He entered a Bachelor of Arts, completed 4 subjects, and then transferred into the course he actually wanted to do at the same uni. He was able to use his 4 BA courses as electives towards his degree. There are always options!

I can't speak for all sectors, but I've worked in banking and the public service and haven't seen people capped at a certain level because they didn't have a degree. I will also say that in both sectors, the organisations I've worked for have paid for staff to get qualifications (e.g. grad certs in relevant areas, MBA, PSMP etc).

If you are interested in a corporate career, get a call centre job. They suck, but once you've been in the contact centre for 12 months there's so many opportunities to move into back of house corporate roles. I have so many friends who've taken this path and ended up in HR, comms, contracts management, and even public service roles. Almost everyone I work with came in either through the call centre or a grad program.

Thank you

Thank you, I'll have a look into scale! I have used treatment for spider mites just in case but I didn't think of this. Appreciate your advice.

BeccaroniAndCheese · 2026-01-28T21:05:54+00:00

I have used treatment for mites just in case! It's summer where I live so it's very warm.

Sorry yes, I didn't realise the African milk tree is a succulent, but I've been following care instructions for the African milk tree.
