@GuruSchneckoak Welcome to the Greg community! I suspect that Mealy bugs have gotten to you plant. Mealybugs appear as small, white, cotton-like insects on leaves and stems, while scale insects are small brown or black bumps. Spider mites can be identified by fine webs between leaves. Prevention and Treatment:
Quarantine new plants: Keep new plants isolated from other plants for a few weeks to check for pests.
Maintain good hygiene: Keep pots and surrounding areas clean and free of debris.
Check plants regularly: Look for signs of pests, such as webs, bumps, or insects.
Use neem oil: This natural insecticide can help control mealybugs, spider mites, and scale insects.
Remove visible pests: For minor infestations, you can manually remove mealybugs and scale insects with a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol. Improve air circulation: Good air circulation can help prevent fungal infections and pests.
Control moisture: Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot and create an environment where pests thrive. Hope this helps! Good Luck 👍

Thank you very much. I hope I can save her, but I'm a bit discouraged 😞
