    The palm in my office has some kind of spidery "something" in it's uppermost fronds. Need to ID the type of palm before I try to treat. Can anyone help?

    I've enclosed photos

    Dracaena marginata, Madagascar Dragon Tree. (It's not a palm.) It sounds like you have an infestation of spider mites; look for webbing on the foliage.

    It's not a palm ... it's Dracaena marginata. Perhaps you have a case of spider mite (some kind of spidery "something").

    Cheers, LPN.

    Brilliant!! I can't thank you enough. Now my plant has a fighting chance!

    This is a wonderful idea: who dreamed this up?
