Though they are flowering, the flowers either drop off before blooming or drop off after they have bloomed. So I just don't get excited over flower buds anymore :( I do have this problem with mealy bugs. They are attacking my tomato plants. Sigh....PHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11010771600736676432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-966972807354804068.post-17217553167668161402014-09-24T10:48:43.914+08:002014-09-24T10:48:43.914+08:00Thanks for this information.

I know one thing for sure though. If you should decide to use the pots again, be sure and give them a bath in a mild bleach solution. It's best to make sure no mealy bug eggs are hiding in crevices just waiting for a new plant! <br /><br />I know the dish detergent hand washing can be time consuming but it is the only thing that seems to work. I've tried a mild alcohol solution with success too but not on a plant for food. <br /><br />Since the plant are small now after you cut them and since they don't have any leaves or flowers, I might try just dunking the entire plant in a mild bleach solution for a few minutes to ward off any hidden eggs. It can't hurt since you are undecided anyway:)<br /><br />Good luck Joyce. I wish I had a better solution for you but alas, not yet...Thanks for sharing, Joyce...<br /><br />P.S. My Oineapple never did bear fruit but it's such a lovely plant I cut it way back and am keeping it!~~louise~~https://www.blogger.com/profile/07335196139849995706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-966972807354804068.post-4586709365603929182014-09-19T11:15:50.581+08:002014-09-19T11:15:50.581+08:00My chilli pepper have never free from mealy bugs a...My chilli pepper have never free from mealy bugs attack.
