Understanding Mealy Bugs: Symptoms, Causes, and Organic Control

Mealy bugs, those tiny white pests that seem to appear out of nowhere, can wreak havoc on your plants. Recognizing their symptoms, understanding their causes, and knowing how to control them organically is essential for any gardener.

 

Symptoms of Mealy Bug Infestation:

Mealy bugs can be identified by their cotton-like appearance on plant leaves and stems. Look out for small, white, fluffy masses that resemble cotton balls. These pests feed on plant sap, causing wilting, yellowing, and distorted growth. Moreover, they excrete a sticky substance called honeydew, which attracts ants and promotes the growth of sooty mould on your plants.

Causes of Mealy Bug Infestations:

Understanding the causes of mealy bug infestations can help you prevent future outbreaks. Mealy bugs are often introduced to your plants through contaminated soil, newly acquired plants, or even by being carried in by ants. Overcrowded or stressed plants are more susceptible to infestations, so proper plant care practices can significantly reduce the risk.
