Well...the evil SCALE strikes...Take a bottle of rubbing alcohol and a tooth brush...clean off all those dots. Peel back the papery sheaths on the p-bulbs and clean under them. I would also buy some ultafine horticultural poil form a big box store or garden center.. mix according to directions...and after you clean the plant up...spray all surfaces top and bottom of leaves...Let the plant dry in the shade...repeat every 10 days for three treatments.
