That's a scale infestation
0 gillningarI googled it, they are mealy bugsā¦the little white bugs I got off the plant look identical to the pics of the mealy bugs. I took alcohol/water mixture and a small paint brush and wiped all the leaves/stems/crevicesā¦.going to keep an eye on it and will do it again in a week or so
1 gillaNice, well, not nice. I couldn't tell 100% from the pic. And mealy are known as Pseudo scale bugs. But you usually treat the same. You can also use a systemic to help kill them off too.

0 gillningarNot doing so well, doesnāt have any bugs anymore but I canāt seem to get her better. I did take a cutting to propagate in case she dies. Iām still crossing my fingers that she makes a recovery
1 gillaItās a fussy plant. Mine is also losing all the leaves but two I took it out the soil and put it in water as last attempt to rescue. If you have a humidifier, it has helped in the past (or alternatively you can keep it in a glassed enclosed to keep the moist)
