I picked this plant up a couple of weeks ago and Iāve noticed a lot of this white stuff on it. Is this some kinds of pest or fungus? Pollination? Itās falling off the plant and getting all over the top of my book case. Also, any idea what kind of plant it is? Thanks!
These are mealy bugs.

Definitely!š¬ They spread fast. Dab with alcohol swabs if only a few. It burns and dries them out. Spray with insecticidal soap or neem oil to suffocate them. Isolate the plant. Disinfectant tools. Wash hands frequently and wear gloves. The littlest ones are easily transported to other plants. Good luck!š šŖ“
