Do you see any pest, webbing can be a sign of spider mites

### Yolanda commented on 2025-07-15

Any webbing anywhere else?

### Newplantenthu commented on 2025-07-15

No, just that tight webbed ball. I did see couple of gnats in soil. Overall the plant looks healthy.

### Sunny commented on 2025-07-15

If there is any broken stems on a plant typically what you should do is just let it grow off and sometimes a new stem will come up and I recommend just basically leaving it alone but if it starts browning, you could cut it off

It’s difficult to judge the size with these pics, but could it be a mealy bug egg sack?

#### Newplantenthu replied on 2025-07-15

This seems like a dime sized sack

#### Phil replied on 2025-07-15

Too big then.

It almost looks like roots
