Mealy bugs

            

Today i spent some time dealing with a small outbreak of mealy bugs on a  Sempervivum that had a lot of little ones around it	Mealy bugs
	Semps often get these bugs hiding in the folds of the leafs
	I don't try spraying as they will always find somewhere to hide and even systemic sprays wont get them unless you submerge the whole pot soil and all in a bucket of spray or as in this case i take the plants to bits clean them up and put them in a container of spray.    drain shake dry and leave on the top for a week

Soak them in the spray give a good stir
A week later they are dry with a  bit of root
	Just pot them up in a good soil mix
