Are the leaves supposed to look like that

I don’t know anything about this plant so don’t mind my big mouth. But… UMM… It looks like mealy bugs ate it, to me. Lol

I literally wanted it because it looked so alien and if I said it was an adonsonii I think people would definitely had thought it was eaten by mealy bugs 😂
