Ezzeldin YaqoubIt 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?

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

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
