    In my personal experience this is typically due to mineral deposits it is completely harmless to the plant. If you see the leaves begin to get white specks it means the plant is in a humid environment or overwatered.

      White specks can also be due to an infestation so make sure you check carefully if you begin to see white specks! Happy planting 🪴
