I’m in zone 9b (SoCal). I have a North facing, covered balcony, but I love succulents! I propagate everything and I like “saving” neglected plants.

Pelargonium 'Citrosum' syn. Pelagonium citrosum, Pelargonium graveolens 'Citrosum'

RIP my last #citronella. You smelled so good and had such pretty flowers. But, the mealy bugs were too many. 😭 #mosquitogeranium #pests #mealybugseverywhere

I had to cut my citronella back because the mealy bugs were hiding in it. I almost lost them to wind last year, so I’m hoping at least one will recover. #😢 #citronella #pests #mealybugs

@cyndi Thanks! I was spraying dilute rubbing alcohol, but the plant was so bushy, I wasn’t getting all of them.
