My palm tree is infested, Urgent help pls!!

 
Hi all,

Is this spider mites or what else could there be?
I cannot really find any of the "webs" though...

It is full of these, especially on the very low part of the stem, and
some under a few leaves.


I read that the following could help:
1. Try to scrape everything off
2. Spray Whole plant with Soap+pure spirit diluted in water and spray
the whole plant a few times

3. Spray every day with normal water to keep up humidity

What do you guys think??

The palm is brand new, bought it a day or so before, and as you can see,
the plant is very healthy, but has not been taken care of properly, and
the soil is absolutely awful.


Also, we got a new aloe vera which has similar strange black spots on a
few of the leaves (leaves??) ...

Needs a much bigger pot.

Normal hairs/scales which rub off as the palm grows
Maybe some residual mites, see #2


Scars from spider mites, they may be left over from an  earlier
infestation which was taken care of by the grower, if you can find
active mites and you just bought it take it back. If you have to keep
it, spray with insecticidal soap ACCORDING TO THE LABEL DIRECTIONS
 keep away from other plants until mites are gone  
You can use an insecticidal oil such as Volck but you have follow the
label directions EXACTLY or you can damage the plant


maybe minor mites, the rest is normal


The white spots are rough handling. I don't know what the black spots
are but I would ignore unless they grow


 Probably just bruises
