SGB looks like a bad case of mealy bugs on your plant. they will suck the life out of it. The ones you can see, you can get with a Q tip dipped in alcohol , or make up a solution of equal parts 409 cleaning liquid and alcohol with a drop or two of dish soap and spray the plant top to bottom and everywhere in between...but there's an excellent chance ( like about 100%) that you won't be able to see them all! They like to hide in-between the leaves and even in the potting media. If you have other plants you should check them all as these guys can migrate pretty fast...isolate the one(s) with bugs you can see...treat what you can see with alcohol or even soapy water..but ( if it were my plant) I would want to apply some systemic product that the plant absorbs and when the bugs suck the plants juices...they get poisoned. I've always used Bayer 3 in 1 for roses on my plants, with good success...there are other folks here with much more experience and I'm sure they will chime in shortly. What ever product you use, make sure to read and follow the label directions and treat all your plants to contain the outbreak. Good luck and let us know how you make out!
