Ich habe noch nie Wollläuse erlebt, habe sie aber überall in diesem Subreddit gesehen. Glaubt ihr alle, dass das das ist? Auf einem Spargelfarn, den ich seit über zwei Jahren habe. Die letzte neue Pflanze, die ich mitgebracht habe, war vor etwa zwei (?) Monaten. Ich habe vor etwa zwei Wochen alle meine Pflanzen mit nützlichen Nematoden gegossen. Jede Hilfe wäre großartig!

Kinda looks like a bad scale infestation.
Doesn’t look like mealy bugs to me, maybe scale.
Scale
This is a scale infection.
Scale like this can be difficult to see at first because this tiny hard scale appears to look the same as little bit of physical damage like tiny brown pinhead scabs
To treat, try and wipe off as many with a damp towel as possible, dispose of rag or wash rag in hot water to avoid spread . Then spray down the entire plant with 1 Part rub alcohol to 3 part water. Get in every nook and cranny. Do this spray every two days until no more new damage is seen.
Sometimes scale insects can cling to the plant from under a hard shell that you can only pick off with your nail or scaping tool – hard scale is very difficult to fully treat as they hide in many nooks and crannies
My bf had a palm that we could not overcome the hard scale once it started to cover the stems like this.
thanks everyone for the quick ID! Today I picked up some Bonide and got to work.
First step I did was spray with an isopropyl alcohol water mix with a few drops of Dawn. Toothbrushed each stem and only was stabbed a few times by the thorns.
Next applied bonide and watered her up. time to wait!
