0개 좋아요I have a pilea and I’m happy to report that doesn’t look like something of serious concern. Some plants have “pores” and shed excess salt and other minerals through them from time to time. It’s common to spot on jades but I’ve definitely seen this on pilea too. If you’re having any other problems with this plant, though, the folks here are happy to help you troubleshoot. Hope this helps!

I have seen people use a vinegar dilution to wipe them/dissolve them. But it's usually on the bottom and not harmful, so i leave any
