Should I be concerned about these white spots?! I have had this plant for two months and am just noticing them on the back side of the leaves.

This is just the money plant leaves “pores”. It’s how they get rid of excess mineral buildup from waterings. Totally normal, every money plant will have them they just become more noticeable if you have a high mineral content in your water

I’d wipe the leaves with a soft wet cloth to see if the spots will come off. I’d be suspicious of pests honestly

Especially since pests are usually found under the leaves. Use neem oil to wipe the leaves to prevent or kill pests It may not be pests but I do preventive treatment for my plants.
