I had a similar scale problem with my Cephalotus. It kept getting scale, it was very had to manage as my Ceph in the 3 years I had the plant had grown tremendously and become very dense. They are sneaky little bug'gers, they would hide right deep in the stem joints and behind the small pitchers where the tendril connects. I treated with Neem and washed off many with a little scrub brush. That helped but months later it got infected again and was deteriorating fast. So I repotted and made loads of divisions, carefully washing any scale I could find. I think my plant was just in desperate need of a re-pot and that was affecting the health of the plant and its ability to fight off pests. It's growing very well now in its new coco pith based cp mix.
