So I’ve had this majesty palm for a good 8 months now and it’s been a battle lol, not with the plant but with pests like they don’t spread just this one plant lol. I just got finished with spider mites on this guy (there may be some but I’m going to continue treating with neem oil) but now it’s this. There’s also a different bug I haven’t seen yet but now that I really look close there’s a lot of them in that one area. Anyways that’s circled and also the white spots, it might be scales but idk because I’ve never had those. Also the thick thick webbing at the start of the leaf I don’t think that’s mites but it might be. I’m in upstate ny if that means anything. The plants honestly healthy besides that like it’s giving me new stems about 1-2 times a month. Also when I first got it one of the actual “bases” rotted so I had to take that off. (It was $5 from tractor supply half dead lol) would another one of those grow? I’ll attach a picture of that in the comments as I can only put one per post.
