I have a tiny, white, fluffy bug on my phalaenopsis, how can I get rid of it?
This is known as mealybug and is easily killed by dabbing it with a little methylated spirits. This will not harm the orchid so fell free to allow it to run into nooks and crannies where the mealybugs may be hiding. They are particularly well camouflaged on the pure white phalaenopsis flowers and if they get too out of control then it is easiest to just dispose of the flowers, clean the plant and it will soon reflower.
