    There is white mold growing on the Fronds of my indoor Palm. Can anyone give me ideas for fixing this problem?

    It could be an infestation of mealy bugs. Wipe the whole plant down with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol, then rinse with water from a watering can. You may have to replace the soil, too.

    Have replaced the soil I notice that there are web strings like a spider would make and the fronds have sticky coating on them. Where would these bugs live In the stems?
