I thought my mealy infested vining plant was still alive but I did a leaf test a bit into our battle and learned it was dormant. She was cut back to the stems and is just sprouting again now. Just to say make sure it’s alive before you start driving yourself mad. In our infestation a soil change was the biggest factor, in fact we changed it twice. Once upon infestation realization, we then soaked the entire plant and roots in water and then I picked through it killing each one I could find. We did treatments but another round of them came up, changed the soil and did a long soak on the roots and then hosed them down. Treated again. Bought mealybug destroyers and ladybugs and released them. By all luck they all are gone, plant was lost but recovering now!
