Residue from water buildup maybe?

Or maybe residue but I am leaning more towards farina

It looks like hard water residue or salts from fertilizer. You can use a diluted water and vinegar solution to clean it. I use it on my new purchases especially those plants arriving from Florida where the hard water leaves lots of water spots on the plants.

With Sunny here — nurseries spray them all. You can hose it off in the shower next watering day
