Ask the Plant Expert: Is this scale? Is this houseplant savable?! - Noah Flower Shop Network Plant Expert Reply: Noah, It looks like your plant has a case of mealy bugs. You can get rid of it by using an insecticide that contains a permethrin. It will take multiple applications. Your local garden center should have one that is safe for your plant. Hope this information helps. Please let me know if I can help with anything else.
