Idk a lot of my plants have it to I don’t know if it’s harmful but has not been harmful to my plants I just normally take those parts out and put different soil on the top layer

It’s probably salts from the soil and fertilizer if it’s chalky. It’s probably fungus from wet soil and organic potting mix if it looks cottony in some areas.

Agree. Looks like mineral build up from watering. Also, this potting mix looks really dense for a succulent. You’ll need to add sand, pumice or some other type of grit to this mix.

okay thank you so much!!

You will need to flush the soil with water to rinse the excess minerals. It may be easier to change out all the soil with a succulent mix containing more aggregates like perlite and sand, as suggested.
