Majesty Palm
Hi!
I already sent one question.We live in Albuquerque NM.My palm is indoor plant and we keep it not on direct sun.It has white mold.Could you give me some advice what to do with this problem?Thank you.

Answer
Hi Larissa, a picture is indeed worth a thousand words! what you have isn't mole, it is an insect called "scale"...get either insectecidal soap or horticultural oil and spray it down (according to instructions) and let it sit for 6-8 hours to work its magic, then take the palm outside and wash off all the dead scale and residual soap/oil. You may have to repeat application but this will assuredly take care of your problem. Nick
