Pest and it looks like you could get some fresher soil. When was the last time you repotted or re-soiled it?.

#### SWDK replied on 2025-09-07

Also if you do re do the soil add perlite it’s great with fighting bacteria in plants.

i repotted a couple of weeks ago

Looks like spider mites!

#### raiscarr replied on 2025-09-08

how do i get rid of it ?

#### LadyTenorJD replied on 2025-09-08

I have never been successful in doing so. Happened twice. I had to trash the plant to avoid the rest of my babies getting infected!

It's definitely fungal, and looking like the early stages of flowerpot parasol. If that's the case, it'll cover almost the entire surface, make lots of little dots within the fluff, then turn yellow/cream and eventually bloom into a little mushroom. It's harmless to plants, just don't let any pets or curious children eat it

that’d be so cool wtf

### annlovesplantzz commented on 2025-09-08

look for little white bugs on the leaves! if there are some, its spider mites. to prevent these, mist your plants often. to get rid of them, bathe your plant and spray it with neem oil or wipe down each leaf with neem oil. make sure to seperate it from your other plants so it doesnt spread!

### SWDK commented on 2025-09-08

If it’s pest good organic spray for plants and neem oil. If it’s a mushroom 🍄 I believe soon yu have to rid the shroom or it’ll take over. But good you’ve repotted remember perlite is a god fighter of bacteria 🦠 and a good breather for plants 🌱.💯
