Mealybug: Identify, Prevent and Effectively Treat This Infestation

What is mealybug?

Mealybugs are a common pest that affects houseplants. These small, white, cotton-like masses live on stems and under leaves, sucking sap from plants and stunting their growth. Left untreated, mealybugs spread quickly, weakening plants and promoting other diseases. Knowing how to recognize them and taking action early is essential to keeping your plants healthy.

How to prevent mealybugs?

Preventing mealybugs involves a few simple steps: inspect new plants before introducing them, avoid overwatering, and space plants apart to reduce humidity. A clean and well-ventilated environment also limits infestations. In the event of a mild infestation, it is possible to remove the mealybugs with a soft cloth, but this remains a temporary measure. For a long-term prevention solution, Vitalis Care Plant offers a powerful and easy-to-use treatment that protects plants from future invasions.

The role of indoor plants in combating climate change

Houseplants make a small but significant contribution to the fight against climate change. By absorbing carbon dioxide (CO₂), they help purify the air and reduce greenhouse gas levels, even in indoor spaces. Additionally, some plant species, such as ferns and palms, are particularly effective at trapping CO₂ and releasing oxygen, creating a healthier environment. Additionally, houseplants can help regulate temperature and humidity, reducing energy consumption for heating and cooling, indirectly contributing to a smaller carbon footprint.

By adopting eco-friendly plant care practices, such as using sustainable and environmentally friendly products, indoor plants become a small but important ally in the fight against global warming.

They feed on the sap of plants, gradually weakening their vitality, leading to yellowing of leaves, slowed growth, and deformed stems. Without treatment, mealybugs can spread rapidly, threatening all the plants in your home.
