Oohh! Could be scale… try using neem oil. Or look on google on how to get rid of them or even if that is what they are… welcome to the #GregFam πŸžπŸ¦‹πŸŒΈπŸͺ΄
@SuperblyLilac Thank you for your feedback. I sprinkled cinnamon and sprayed neem oil. Hopefully these little buggers leave.
I highly recommend Bonide Systemic granules for future prevention!
Hi Ashley, unfortunately this looks like scale. I would recommend treating this with a good bug spray, I like to use baby bio house plant bug killοΏΌ, and I would also recommend replacing the soil and repotting this plant as you don’t want anything growing in the soil. I would also isolate this plant away from your others and repeat the bug spray process every two days for two weeks until this disappears. Hope that helps :-)οΏΌ
