I quick talked to my mom, (a plant expert) and we poured some peroxide or smth on it. Really hope that fixes it

In future, occasional alcohol wipe downs will help keep them away too! I imagine they were mealy bugs! You can also go to your local plant store to find a leaf shiner and cleaner for ~$20! They’re nice and smell good and help with mealy bugs and gnat prevention too!
