    It kind of looks like scales but I’m not 100% sure

    it’s hard to tell from these photos, they’re not quite focused enough…but i think scale or maybe mealybugs

    This is definitely aphids. Well the white stuff are the exoskeletons of the aphids. Check the stems for maybe small black bugs. Either way I’m positive it’s aphids I had this issue and it looked exactly like this.

      If I may, what did you do to treat it?

      Sorry just seeing this. I sprayed with neem oil they all died. Then sprayed again the following week and I haven’t seen them again. I keep checking. This is is what mine looked like. The black are the aphids and the white I thought were a different bug but it was shed skin/exoskeleton of the aphids

      Neem oil. I used the directions on the back of the bottle and sprayed the crap out of everything on the plant. Then a week later again and the next week again
