Hi all! I’ve had a bird of paradise for about 5 years and it’s had scale the whole time. I’ve repotted (with a rubbing alcohol root wash), undergo a regular regiment of removing scale with rubbing alcohol pads and spraying with neem oil and bonide. All the while, the scale keeps coming back but new shoots keep growing. Occasionally the scale will kill the smallest/lowest frond but another will typically sprout soon after. The scale is now starting to take a toll on my plant and the whole thing is leaning and needs support. Any recommendations? Is this a curable issue, or will my BoP forever live in plant quarantine? Will I forever live in an endless cycle of hope and disappointment!?
