Those icky creatures could possibly have been transferred from outdoor plants or may have been there when purchased. Sounds like there are great numbers now and are taking their toll on your plant.

Personally, I would toss it rather than mess around with pesticides.

Stopped at a local nursery today and looked at their coleus....loaded with foliar mealies! I feel sorry for any unsuspecting buyer.

Sorry about your plant. My recommendation is to get yourself a new healthy beauty.
