    Piggyback Plants are not any more susceptible to Mealybugs than any other indoor green plant.

    Good growing conditions and sterile tools when working with your orchids are good practices.
    This is best way to prevent insects and diseases.

    Sow the seeds in starting trays and keep them covered with a sheet of glass or plastic.
    Keep the soil moist at all times.
    Pot the individual plants when they have 4 to 5 leaves.

    It seems these are picky about watering. You must make sure that it does not stay wet, or get dry. It must remain moist slightly at all times. Also, this is a shade plant only. It does not do well in bright light. Here is an article on their care:
