# Does anyone know what these white dots are? My money plant looks…

_Posted by Bellafurba on 2024-09-12_

Does anyone know what these white dots are? My money plant looks happy and perky, but I never noticed these white dots on the underside of some of the leaves. Any clues what this is? They seem to come off if I rub them off. Is this some type of pest? They don’t move and are only in the bottom of some of the leaves 🧐 it’s on my dining room table, next to a south facing sliding door. TIA

This is normal! It’s expelling minerals that it doesn’t need/has too much of. Mine did this too and I was soooo confused! I tried to pop em like a pimple 😂

OMG hilarious! Thank you!! I’m so glad it’s not pests. Are you supposed to try and remove them. Or do you leave them there?

agree with nic — just excess salts or minerals from the water
