I got this Silver Fittonia a few months back and Iām noticing these little white āwebā type things. Does anyone what these are and how to treat them? Thanks!

Did it have these when you got it? It looks normal to me. I donāt know nerve plants well but some stems do when texture like this!

I donāt remember seeing anything like that on it. I was just worried that it might be something because itās kind of separate from the stem, thanks for your input!

If you are talking about the white fur/fuzz on the petioles, this is part of the normal make up of the plant. As plants mature, they can take on characteristics it may not have had as a juvenile form plant. Fuzz like this on petioles of plants is typically evolved to absorb moisture/humidity from the air. Some philodendrons have this feature too! But the white blob sac looking thing may be a mealy bug egg sac. So get rid of that.
