I just got this plant.
I'm not sure what's happening here, but I don't think this is ok. Is it mildew? I haven't had this plant a whole week yet.

2ft to light, indirect

3โ pot with drainage

Last watered 1 month ago

The white on the leaves is normal for schefflera. It's a variegation. But the filmy stuff on the soil isn't. That's fungus. Your soil is too water-retentive. Repot into houseplant mix [it's usually coco peat/peat moss with perlite, occasionally with worm castings, sand, coco coir, or other compost stuff]
