I found these tiny white spots on my baby jade plant this morning. They came off easily when I wiped them off. They kind of remind me of tiny bits of sand? Should I be concerned? They’re not bugs

They’re mineral deposits! You can use distilled water or rain water and that should help the issue. This happens when there’s mineral in the water you use and it builds up.
