Help. newly appeared on my majesty palm??
Spider mites I think
0 LikesUgh, I hope not. Would I have seen the spider mites physically if so? I’m not showing anything beside what’s in the picture on the leaves/steams, nothing in the soil
0 LikesIdk , not expert , Palms get mites easily and they leave the white stuff on stem and leaf like the photo

0 LikesLooks like spider mites
1 LikeWould I actually see the mites? The white things were only on the stems as shown above. I don’t show signs of anything anywhere else or in soil?
0 LikesSpider mites are very very tiny, and they tend to just look like white dots. My cats palm got infected with them a few weeks ago and it looked exactly like that. It only affected the stem and leaves of my plant as they like to hide in crevices, I never saw any in my soil. If you take a microfiber cloth along with some neem oil it will get rid of the mites.

1 LikeIf you do decide to wipe it down with neem oil, make sure you get all of the crevices! And no problem :)
