i just adopted this unknown vining plant from a deceased family member, and i’m finding this sticky white fuzzy looking stuff on some of the leaves. any thoughts? if it helps, it came in an arrangement with aloes.

I’m pretty sure that’s mealy bugs and it looks pretty bad! I’ve never had them, just seen them on others plants. You should look into it because you don’t want them on your other plants and it looks like that plant is infested with them

It might not be worth saving in my opinion
