Just got this plant, it a tropical foliage mix, anyone know why these white bits are coming up on the leaves and the leaves are curling up?  
Any advice would be appreciated!

Need more pictures. It could be spider mites. Looks like a web is on one of the leaves. Check for more webs especially under the curled leaves. It’s blurry, but is that a scale insect? They look like they have on armor. I can’t tell from one picture.

Yes, I was thinking spider mites as well. Leaves could have mildew too.

Here’s another photo! No there’s no insects on them, that’s why il so confused why the leaves are looking like this!
