Mealy bugs which mostly collect in the leaf bases are not a major problem for a well-grown palm. Check also the fading leaf base on pinnate leaved palms by gently pulling it down. Resist the temptation - never remove the leaf before it is completely ready or you will scar the ring and can invite diseases. If not available, use Daconyl outdoors and allow to dry before bringing inside your home or greenhouse. If air circulation is provided by a fan, possibilities of infection are minimal.
