Mealies. Spray the plant with 91% rubbing alcohol and wipe them off, kills mealies instantly and dries/disapates fast enough it doesn’t harm the plant. Treat every couple of days for at least a month

Nah don’t toss it yet, those are mealybugs and they’re beatable. Grab some 70% isopropyl alcohol on a cotton swab and wipe every white spot, then spray the whole plant down with neem oil weekly for a bit

Mealy bugs, I got rid of mine by using a paintbrush and alcohol to pick them off one by one, then thoroughly rinsing it under water. Took a couple days. wipe off all the white stuff

My mealy bug cure: Chlorox disinfectant spray without bleach. I spray the crap out of them, top and bottom and the soil every day. Works like a charm and doesn’t hurt the plants.
For the future, mix some “systemic granules” in with the soil.

Mealy bugs.
I think it’s been mentioned already, but ISOLATE this plant. They spread easily.
I use Neem Oil spray all over, underside of leaves, tops, stems… then alcohol on a cotton swab it any mealies pop back up.

Thrips. Things of nightmares. Search the sub for solutions if you really want to keep it.
But isolate from other plants.
