Echeveria Shaviana infected with pests-help!

Post by hengalli »

Hi there! My echeveria shaviana has quickly become infested with aphids. I really hope I have a chance of saving it. The bugs are mostly dead now, but any recommendations for saving it? I removed the dead leaves, should I rinse it and repot?
Thank you!

Hello hengalli.
Please read this link first. Next, clean the plant, make sure no bugs are left and repot in fresh sterile soil. Withhold water for a week if it's growing or leave it until spring if it's hibernating
