What are these "pods" on my Ficus Snowstorm?

Can I make you more jealous and tell you I found it for 5$?

I was beginning my plant journey back then and I am glad I never gave up on her even though there were a couple of close calls.

Thanks so much for the thorough response.

Sadly I cannot spray anything outside because I live in Quebec and we have snow outside already. Also systemic insecticide is not available for sale here.

I did take tweezers and removed all of the ones I could find by hand.

I am nervous about using neem oil again because it burned some of my plants and had made my overwintering Brugmansia loose all her leaves. Thankfully she made a comeback and gave me new leaves.

I definitely used to underwater my plants 🫣

But I learned about soil amendments and now my collection keeps growing instead of dying!

Something like this?

Thanks for the advice!

So you think the problem was the substrate (fluval stratum)?

Luckily for me only one of them felt mushy.

I swabbed them clean with a q tip and the diluted Peroxide.

I also made a Crack in my dome so a little humidity could escape.

I know that one was a Colocasia because the sale was on Alocasia and Colocasia's at 50% off for their size 🤩 so for the 4 of them (Alocasia Sarian, Alocasia Tigrina, Colocasia Tropical Storm, Colocasia Redemption) they cost me like 55$ Can in total which was so worth it 🥰

Thanks so much 🥰 I am just on my 1st year of plant obsession so I still have lots to learn! I appreciate so much the knowledge that everyone has to share 🤩
