Hey everyone! I'm currently using a 70% isopropyl alcohol solution to protect my plants from mealybugs, which I really want to avoid at all costs! Just wanted to check if it's okay to let this alcohol solution dry on the plants after spraying. Should I consider rinsing them with water before letting it dry? I usually make sure to keep them out of direct sunlight for about 24 hours after treatment, but I'm just worried about causing any damage to my precious plants. Thanks in advance for your help!

I suggest using Spinostad instead of isopropyl alcohol. It's often better for plant treatment. Just a thought!
You should be totally fine just letting the alcohol dry on its own. No need to spray with water unless you want to rinse off any dust as well before applying the alcohol. Just keep in mind that alcohol evaporates way quicker than water, so it should dry up fast and be safe for your plants!
Thanks! I will look into that.
