| I just noticed something white on my cylindropuntia subulata (?)
Are they dreaded mealybugs? Nothing seems to be moving, I chcked with magnifying glass too. As a first aid I just sprayed with 70:30 mix of rubbing alcohol & water. Should they be out of sun for a while because of rubbing alcohol? I checked all pots around, so far didn't see anything similar. But as a precaution - should I spray them all? I googled how to control them, but I am looking for any first-hand suggestions.

| Is that opuntia subulata monstrose? Anyway does it ooze red juices when poked? If so i usually just poke them to kill them, or squirting with jet is usually enough to get them blown off |

| Zech you are probably right with ID (it didn't have a name when bought). Rina |
