Hi,
I always spray mine with Orthene and it's never hurt. For mealy bugs I think
it's easiest to have a systemic. The submersion method that someone
mentioned is more environmentally friendly though! (But can you really be
sure that they ALL died...?) Anyway, I think you have Orthene "over there",
right?
