Aloha, I love Boston Ferns I have some in the house right now and I saw one of them have this white powder on and around the leaves, I am sure it is not white fly, what can I use to take care of this? Mahalo Mary

Can you provide a more complete description of the white stuff. Is it dryn powdery? Is it soft and cotton-like? oes it move or look like an insect? Does it look like it is dried onto the fronds? Do you find it in the soil, on the fronds, on the stems, or all over?
