Hi Mr. Neil Soares, Many thanks for the identification. It does not look like mealy bugs because there was no presence of ants on the plant. Moreover, if the mealy bugs multiply to this extent there are traces of honeydew and fungi formning on the plant. However I will have a look once again tomorrow and see if there is any change. The second reason why I doubt mealy bugs is because the fibres are flying about when we shake the plant. Regards Yazdy.
