It looks like powdery mildew. If you have your plant near any others you will want to quarantine it away. You can either remove the leaves that are affected, or treat with Neem oil. If the damage is bad, I would remove the leaves to prevent it spreading.

Powdery mildew. Cut the heavily affected leaves. They won’t recover anyway. Avoid top watering. I know everyone says neem oil but I’ve never had any success treating outbreaks with it (my squash get it every year). Get a proper fungicide and follow the instructions then use it to treat the mildew. Then use it semi regularly to stave it off. It’s a monster. Isolate the plant if you can. It’ll spread to other plants.
