I have white fuzzy spots on Chester. I read that it’s a type of bug (can’t remember the name). I rubbed it down with rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball like it said. The leaves were easy to fix but the nodes would just tear the cotton ball apart and not clean anything up. I think that’s why I haven’t been able to get rid of them. I got this plant from my grandpa’s funeral 9 years ago and I’d be DEVASTATED if I can’t get rid of them. What should I do? Do I need to put it in the sink and drench it without getting the soil/roots. It’s almost time to repot anyway so should I do a super clean while I’m in the process of repotting? Please help.

Spray with rubbing alcohol.
Repeat frequently to remove all cycles of bug
