I just noticed these odd brown bumps along the stems of my goldfish plant. Can anyone tell me what they are/how to get rid of them?

I’m not positive but I think it might be scale! I don’t have much experience with it though!

1 likeI use a q-tip and isopropyl alcohol to spot treat the large adults. They grab on tight so you have to kind of pop them off. Unfortunately this looks like a larger infestation, I would treat the entire plant with a diluted alcohol spray as well
