Hello guys, I need some help in diagnosing what my plant has and how I can help. It started growing these little white things on the leaf and I noticed also on the stem of some branches.

Mealy bugs?
Any effective ideas to get rid of it without damaging the plant ?
@Plant-Lover11169556 Thank you
@user12008275 I use rubbing alcohol with some water and some people add soap since it’s a bigger infestation add soap with the rubbing alcohol! Make sure if you have any other plants that they haven’t spread to your others. You can spray and remove them with q-tips with the rubbing alcohol mixture on it. Spray until gone ! Hope this helps 🪴
@user12008275 also since it’s a bigger plant it looks like, just make sure you spray it everywhere and in the tough places use the q-tips with the mixture on it.
Mealy bugs or sooty mildew
Looks like mealy bugs. Better to use insecticide (with dinotefuran).
The plant is affected by pests.Treat it with an insecticide solution
