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

0件のいいねFiltered water still has “normal healthy” minerals but few to no impurities. Distilled is stripped of all impurities and minerals

いいね 1件If it’s mealy bugs it will require a good mix of insecticidal soap mixed with rubbing alcohol and a repot
