What’s your watering routine for this?

Is that salt deposits on the soil or the white fluff from mealy bugs? It’s hard to tell in the picture. It is probably overwatering or poor drainage if there are no pests. Also, these plants are sensitive to tap water preferring filtered water. They are dramatic in general.
