I get the same little white stuff… I think it’s from moisture but would also like to know

It’s fungal growth. Slow drying moisture and organic material in the soil promote its growth. Not harmful to plants. Can indicate the soil is not drying fast enough or you’re watering too often. Can indicate poor airflow around the plant and may need a fan. A commercial fungicide a clear it if it gets out of hand. It’s typically dies off if you increase airflow and let the soil dry a bit more before watering. 🪴🍀
