# I just got this plant a few days ago and I went ahead and repotted it…

I just got this plant a few days ago and I went ahead and repotted it but it’s had this rough white stuff since I got it. Does anyone know what’s going on with the little guy? (This is my first ever plant so I’m still new to everything)

Im new also. But I will take a guess if you bought them at a not plant store they are over watered and have root rot like the one I recently posted here.
