Mealy bugs are sometimes to be seen on many different kinds of plants, recognizable by the white, waxy wool in which they hide. They are difficult to remove but must not be allowed to remain on the plants, for they secrete some sort of honeydew which becomes attacked by a fungus. Scrape them off as well as possible with a matchstick dipped in white oil (Volck) solution and then spray the plant with a systemic insecticide. Mealy bugs sometimes get into the most impenetrable places on cacti, where they are almost impossible to remove by hand.
