How To Remove Scale from Opuntia Cactus | Prickly Pear Cactus.

[CactusCaffeine]

Oh, I hope you got them all out! Those scales don’t work as fast as mealies but they leave an unsightly scar on the plant. 👍🏼

[FernandaNascimentoOrchids]

All shiny and cleaned up, yay👌 I do like the rubbing alchool and I cannot do without it. I also use a little brush and I never dillute it either for succulents or orchids and they do fine 🥰❤️

[PleasantPrickles]

What a terrible pest! That really did the trick! I hope your beautiful Opuntia bounces back! Thanks for the wonderful tutorial! 🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵💕😀

Omg! Thank you so much for sharing this Lyn! I've lost many Opuntias before because it worsened until the plant died. 🥺🥰

OMG Lynn! I'm having trouble sleeping tonight and luckily I stumbled down a rabbit hole! LOL! I found a channel called simply, epiphytic cacti, and I can't stop watching. I recommend the first video I watched called, my rhipsalis closet!

I had this similiar case before in my ferocactus i guess, And i used a dish soap to remove them. With a cotton bud and just rub it gently and it will come off. Now my cactus is healty.

Great video Lyn!!! These guys are one of my worst enemies!!! Scale, both cactus hard scale, like you are showing & and citrus scale are two I fight in a never ending battle!!! I have had a bad time with cactus scale this year!! I'm still fighting!! Yes I have used alcohol also with great results!! But have to keep a close eye on the plants cause one might have not been killed and they will be back!! So you are right in keeping up with them!!! Good luck with the opuntia!! From Morris park in the Ozarks, to across the Emerald isle. Have a great day!!! Peace, Love, Plants!!!!✌💖🌵🌷🌴🌸🌲💐🌳🌺🌿🌻🍀🌹😀👍

[Cactimania]

Luckily I’ve not had to deal with scale, yet anyway! The good old isopropyl alcohol cleaned that Opuntia up nicely though 😊 Thank you for sharing with us as always, Lyn. Have a wonderful evening and new week from Edith & myself to you and Hans ❤️🌵☀️🌺🌼🌸🏜

Thanks for all the tips in removing scales, Sis Lyn🙂Another informative video❤️

[jeffhayes]

Hello Lyn, another valuable video. Whatever can happen to a cactus or succulent I know you have a remedy on video, thank you! I appreciate that you go into detail because I was wondering about the natural age spots and you explained before I could ask. Sending you and Hans peace and love for a wonderful week ahead from your friend in Georgia!
