My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Advice on infested Kentia Palm

7 years ago

I bought this a Kentia Palm two years ago and it has increasingly become infested with something. I think it might be "scale" whatever that is but am at a loss to know how to treat it. The leaves are not sticky though and on close inspection it doesn't look like an insect - sort of a bit dusty.

The new leaves now seem a bit stunted. I'm concerned I'll going to lose this plant. Help!!
