I always wait for the afternoon when I don't get anymore direct sun on my balcony for any spraying actions. We will see. So far so good.
I just wasn't sure about the roots, if the alcohol is not too harsh. Normally I would use Oxygen Peroxide on the roots (orchids trick). Just pour alcohol though the soil (and get the whole plant happy and drunk) ?

That's good. Succulent growers usually unpot the plant and spray the roots with the alcohol then repot in fresh soil
I'll do that with succulents then. Not a problem :) I just might have the first "victim" so so hopefully it works.
Aw, I hope it isn't root mealies! Although that is the chance you take every time you bring home new plants :(
Do they look any different than the regular ones?
We will find out soon enough :p
Root mealies are bigger and fatter and greyish, not much like the little green or black ones
Ohh nasty!
I was just repoting some small ones and there was some white/grey stuff around the roots. A bit like very fine spiderweb... or mold. Could that be them?
Did you see anything that looks like a big, fat grey aphid?
