My basjoo has been getting this weired fluffy white stuff on it and also has had many soft spots that get brown and basically have to be cut out. Well now I pretty much cut it down to 8 inches or so ( it was 4 ft) but the white fluffy stuff is appearing anywhere I cut the plant and it just dont look healthy. My other basjoo bought at the same time looks great and is fine at about 5 ft tall. What could the fluff be and is it harmful to my plant, it sure does not look like any mites nor does it look living. Sorry but this photo is huge but shows all the detail.
