Hi! Plants need time to recover between treatments so maybe it’s stressed. Plus having a pest in the first place is stressful for them. I would recommend just letting it be for a week or so before doing any more treatments, and if you see any damaged, brown, dry areas feel free to prune them off, this will allow it to concentrate on healing and putting out new healthy growth instead of putting its energy into the sick parts. Don’t do any more treatments unless absolutely necessary and stick to regular watering schedule. Basically try to keep the plant in its normal environment and routine so it doesn’t get further stressed. I think it will recover but it will take a few weeks. Don’t worry if you lose some leaves, they will grow back when the plant is feeling better!
@Mano also if there is still some scale present you can prune those parts off as well, just never prune more than 1/3 of the plants total foliage at any given time. And of course if the scale is on a necessary part like the trunk, this doesn’t apply, but wait a week before treating again and use only one at a time so it doesn’t get overwhelmed. I hope this helps 💚
Maybe too many different ingredients in your mixture . I usually try one thing and if it doesn’t knock them out I try something else. I think your palm may be freaking out . If there are any leaves that are dead dead cut them off. Let it recover. Also wipe off all of scale since scale is hard to judge if it’s dead or not.
@Hoyaobsessed that's right I mixed lot of things I also freaked out when I saw the amount of scale all over it, so scale will still hang there even they are dead?they won't fall? 🤦🏻♂️ Such a nightmare
No they do not fall off that’s why you must remove all you see so you can see if any new scale pops up .
