They might be tiny pests or bacteria but it could also be dust

looks like mineral salts and likely is if you’ve been using tap water. i don’t think there’s anything wrong with your plant, in fact it looks really healthy and happy. jade plants curl their leaves up and turn red on the edges like in your photo when they’re getting plenty of sun. if it is mineral buildup, it’s an indicator that your plant’s systems are doing their job properly and expelling any excess minerals. mineral salts should wipe away easily with a soft cloth or your finger

Aphids. Get neem oil. But wipe off with alcohol ( diluted) for now

Those look like Aphids— pest infestation. Maybe from another plant or from the soil itself.

plant father has it right. this is a common jade thing if you use tap water. they store the water in their leaves, so it’s expelling the extras. i use tap for mine and all three do this they’re totally fine ☺️ your plant is beautiful!!

I had this problem, it’s from hard water. I changed to filtered water and it hasn’t happened again. Use a wet cloth to wipe off all the white dots.
