Article: Indoor palms: Selecting and caring for these popular houseplants: Sawpalm pest problem

Author Content sawpalm Winston Salem, NC September 8, 2008 7:51 PM Post #5525499 I am sooo glad to see your very thorough article about palms. I have what I think is a sawpalm indoors in an extremely bright double window (full sun most of the day, floor to ceiling. By choosing this as my id here I admit I have an intense affection for this plant. However, just this week I noticed it has lots of coton like stuff all over the stems and some of the leaves. Is this mealy bug? If so, should I just spray it with castile soap or neem or... Thanks for any suggestions you might have.
