It's been along 5 days. The trachy enjoyed all week of 70 degree and sunshine. Also went through alot. Alcohol treatment, coffee treatment, ladybugs then blasted by the garden hose. This morning I treated it with a pesticide. Through all this it's doing well. I would say it's 95% bug free. Now the challenge to keep it alive over the winter. IMO the garden hose blasting was the most effective. But it's impossible to do when it Gets cold. Thanks to everyone for the help. I'm going to wait 5 days and treat it again. Next I will start my hunt for plant food.

Tony, glad to hear it's improving...
but that 5% are probably egg-laying females, so keep at it. 😕

keep it alive over the winter

That'll be easier than this last week.
Place it near a window.
Would do very well in a cool spare room, not where it gets blasted from a heat source.
A Trachy would love to be misted once a day, but at least once a week.
Don't forget to water it, but less water if it's in a cooler room.
If you get warm weather it can go outdoors, back in at night if you're uncertain.

And by early spring, it's ready to go out. 8)
Good work!

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.
