Once I had a really bad infestation in my mostera and I had to cut it down to a stub.
For me, scraping it off was the only way to remove it. Neem oil seems to help

I just fought off a scale infestation that had spread multiple of my plants. First I used a toothbrush and neem oil mixture to scrub every plant, every inch, removing any bug I found. Then I dusted them all with Diatomaceous Earth. For how large my infestation was, it was a necessary effort but worth it as I only lost a few leaves and didn’t have to lose any plants. Take care of this sooner rather than later.

You’ve probably noticed your plant is pretty sticky lately. Fun fact, the stickiness is caused by the bug’s excrement.

Scale, my friend, you got scale.
Scale insects.
Scrape em off with your finger nail.
It’s scale. I hate it.
