Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comI have an indoor houseplant and it has what I think looks like a disease of some sort. It has white circumferential spots growing mainly on the stems, and there are increasing clusters of them covering most of the plant. The bases of the leaves are affected too, but the leaf itself mainly spared. It grows with a decent bit of sunlight during the day but isn’t in humid conditions. Any idea what it is and how I can get rid of it?

It sounds like mealy bugs or scale. Spray the plant with neem oil, and this should take care of them. Here is more information:
