I quick talked to my mom, (a plant expert) and we poured some peroxide or smth on it. Really hope that fixes it

Could be mealy bugs. Look those up see if it’s a match to yours. If so, it’s an ongoing treatment for a few weeks. I use insecticidal soap. But they need to be examined and sprayed about every 5 days for a few weeks.
