Mealy bugs on gardenia
I recently discovered white bugs and areas of white cottony looking masses on leaf junctions of my potted gardenia. I tried spraying rubbing alcohol (purchased at the supermarket for $8.50 approx) on the pests and it seems to have significantly reduced their presence. Another spray should do the trick. Rubbing alcohol apparently does not harm the foliage because it evaporates quickly, but has its effect on the bugs.
