I've had this plant for a bit over a year, I think it is mammillaria backebergiana but I am not entirely sure, it was unlabeled when I purchased it. Anyway, I think it may have mealybugs. Here are my questions about it:
Here is the cactus
Here is a closeup of the white spots between the spines
This picture is a little blurry, but you can see that there is also the white webby stuff in the bottom hole of the pot.
- Are these mealybugs?
- If they aren't mealybugs, what are they?
- What should I do about it?
