Can someone tell me what’s on my bird of paradise? About to light it on fire.

Mealy bugs for sure, I’m having the same problem. I just bought a ton of ladybugs to eat all the pests so maybe that’ll work for you, I’ve already tried rubbing alcohol and neem oil. Neither have worked  
The next step is giving them a soap water bath.

it looks like scale. i don’t have experience with this pest but i’ve heard they’re easy to treat, by using a toothbrush dipped in soapy water (i use castile soap since it’s the gentlest option) or a cotton swab dipped in 70% isopropyl alcohol solution. several treatments may be necessary to eradicate them all

Barnacle wax scale. Isolate the plant. Kill them quick! Use Plant Father’s recommendation. They keep their babies underneath. 😬
