Adi🌱Scale can be hard to get rid of but you need to make sure you use a diluted spray of rubbing alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, and dish soap if you so chose. They usually are all around where the leaf meets stem, you can scrape/wipe them off (I know it sounds gross and it really is. Please use gloves)

i used diluted alcohol and got off what i could, she's bald because the amount of scale she had on the leaves alone was .. alarming so i just wanted a fresh start i will have hope for her and ill probably do the whole process again next week thank you for the advice

Don’t forget about the nasty bugs that eat scales too. I don’t know the name of them but you can find Them easily online
