These little white spots suddenly appeared in my prayer plant soil, is this bad?

    It is just excreting excess minerals, which means you should use distilled or rainwater, not tap water due to the high mineral content.

      I've been using filtered water to water, would this still happen?

      Filtered water still has “normal healthy” minerals but few to no impurities. Distilled is stripped of all impurities and minerals

      I agree, it doesn’t look like the white film left behind from minerals, it looks like little bugs

    The leave has white stuff on it. Check the leaf crevices for sticky white stuff and it could be mealy bugs. If it’s just the soil it could be a yellow fungus/mold that starts as little fuzzy egg looking specks and usually from over watering.

    If it’s mealy bugs it will require a good mix of insecticidal soap mixed with rubbing alcohol and a repot
