NEED HELP! I’m not sure if I should be worried. My elephant ear leaves have these white spots and I’m not sure why.

It looks like mealy bugs to me! I’d wipe the deals down (especially the crevices) with rubbing alcohol and give it a good shower!

Thank you so much! I’m gonna try that now

You should be worried, put her in quarantine and check the rest of your plants

Spray with neem oil is what I do, but everyone have their own way to deal with them

Yes it is. I haven’t seen any bugs at all but idk what that white stuff is
