My sago palm had white things all over?

I cut off all of the pongs and threw them away. Is there any hope that it will survive? It has 3 blooms but they have not sprouted.

oh no, in dutch this is called spint, you could go to a store to get stuff to make sure it will not come back. Just cutting away the leaves won't help enough. At least it didn't help with my sago palm :-(.
Reply:well you sago has scale mites. i hate them, now there is a way to get rid of them. i have made an solution that can keep them under control, now it is a oil base solution. they way it works is that you spay the hell out of the tree with it, what happens then is that the oil covers the insect making it so it cant breath then it dies, also ther is some stuff that you can buy at home depot that you spread on the surface of the soil, when you water it it breaks down so the plant can drink it, it wont hurt the plant, but the poison is inside the plant stems and as the insect eats its poisoned then dies
Reply:the only thing you can do is buy Organocide commonly found at Home Depot, Lowe's, etc.





sorry, but in my area planting zone 9 Florida the sago palm have this disease but with regular application you should keep him in good health.
