I inspected it closely after receiving your post and I'm pleased to report no sign of scale. I've never encountered them personally, but from looking at a plethora of pictures and what it looks like, no scale, none that I can see anyway. There was a little bit of residue on the new growth where the sap was coming out of it (it has since stopped producing the happy sap.) It came off effortlessly with a quick rub of the finger. I see what you mean with the cane behind it. Those spots have been there since I got it. Nothing has changed, moved or spread since then. I'll most definitely continue to monitor it nonetheless. Thanks for bringing that possibility to my attention orchid126. It is greatly appreciated!
