It kind of looks like scale to meāa friendās plant had scale. Itās not exact but itās my closest guess. Either way thatās DEFINITELY not supposed to be there. Godspeed, man

This is a heavy infestation of armored scale. They raise their babies underneath them!š¬ Remove them by taking the plant outside and scrape off or pluck them. Use the dull side of a plastic or metal knife to scrape all of them off. Place a cloth over the soil and around the pot to catch them as they fall. Properly dispose of them to avoid infecting other plants. Spray all of the plant with neem oil to suffocate the hard to see ones. Check every week for reoccurrence. šŖ“š

KelseyArmored scale?! Is it a bug or a fungus or what?

Bug, the commenter mentions they raise their babies under those warts.

Definitely a living insect. They are soft shell and hard shell varieties. Some start out soft, then, harden. They seal their edges like a barnacle to protect their growing young who later eat their way out of their motherās carcass. Interesting and creepy !š

Gaileen JoyYikes! ARMORED SCALE?! As if the regular olā scale wasnāt bad enough. I kinda expect something to pop up from underneath one of those things with an RPG (rocket propelled grenade)! š³š«£
