my silver inch plant has these little white particles in the soil, does anyone know what it could be? i havent been watering it as much as i probably should lately, does that have anything to do with it or is this a seperate problem?  
edit: it also needs a bigger pot but i havent been able to get one so that could maybe be related but idk lol

If it dissipates after watering, it is probably just mineral or calcium buildup from the soil or from the water. If it stays there after watering, its probably mold. This is probably not the case if you haven't been watering it enough, unless you live somewhere very humid. Not too much to worry about either way, especially if you are going to repot it soon!
