My indoor palm has developed these dry things that stick to the leaves and also to the base of the plant.

It has not looked healthy since then.

I showed the photo to someone at the garden centre and they said I think, they were mealy bugs?
They recommended the Baby Bio house plant bug killer, but I have sprayed several times and the bugs are still there.

Can anyone tell me what these bugs are, what they are actually doing to the plant and how I can get rid of them?

Many thanks,

mix 1/2 cup of standard rubbing alcohol with a quart of water into a spray bottle and spray the mealy bugs. wait 20 mins then rinse the plant with normal water, repeat daily
