Dypsis mahajanga (Mealy Bug Palm)

The Dypsis mahajanga, commonly known as the Mealy Bug Palm, is an exotic tropical palm tree. It features long, graceful fronds that can reach up to 10 feet in length. The tree is named for its susceptibility to mealy bugs, which are tiny white insects that feed on the plant's sap. Despite this vulnerability, with proper care and regular pest control, the Mealy Bug Palm can thrive in tropical and subtropical regions.
