Hi. I'm in southern California where it does get pretty warm. I stated I've never had a bug problem but after watching your video and learning what to look for, upon close inspection of my succulents I found a small patch of white powdery substance on one. I cleaned it off with alcohol and all is well. Thank you! Also, while at Lowe's today picking up some succulent nutrient, i found quite a few fallen leaves under the succulent table. One even had a little pup growing on it already. I'm going to try to propagate them. Love your videos, bye!

Great video and a lovely message! Also I love your succulent collection!
I'm a beginner and mine got infected with mealy bugs. I freaked out and plucked off all the leaves from the mother plant😢
Is it possible to grow new succulents from leaves plucked from an infected echeveria?

Hi Sheila, I had bug infestation in only 1 pot and luckily I detected it at the right time. I sprayed isopropyl alcohol and it helped.

Luckily I've never had a bug problem on my succulents, but I tuned in for the message and it was another good one!

[retaghanim]

Hi! I love your videos they teach me a lot and I’ve purchased a lot of succulents lately. I believe one of the succulent plants I purchased brought in a fungus nat infestation. I was wondering if you can give advice on how to kill them off before it gets out of hand. I’m worried about the larvae that will stay in the soil and kill the roots, and not so much the annoying flies. Any tips? I see that boiling the soil or putting it in the oven will kill off any pesky larvae. What do you think?

Thank you!

Hi Sheila, I'm a new fan on your channel. I love this positive message in your video and all the great tip for planting succulents. I'm also a beginner for succulent. I bought the Horticultural spray oil you recommend here. But I'm not sure if I did it right. I used 2.5 tea spoon of oil mix with 1 gallon of water. And I spray it on my succulent at night time? Do I use the correct amount? How often do I need to put on my plant for keeping it away from the mealybug and spider? Hope to get some great answer from you! Thanks!
