White spots
What are these white spots? They kinda look like mold. How would I treat it?

Good morning! I'm so glad you found Greg. (:
It's really hard to tell from the picture what it really looks like. Can you get a little closer and take another picture that is a little more clear?
I have a few ideas:
1) do they move at all? If the do, they are pests. You can spray the plant with rubbing alcohol.
2) when did they appear? Quickly? Then I would spray with hydrogen peroxide.
3) do they come off easily? You can just carefully dunk the plant upside down in water and swish it around for a bit without dunking the soil in the water.
I hope this helps! (:

@sarahsalith hi!
No, they don’t move. It almost seemed like it was embedded into the leaves but when I washed the leaves, it came off. I checked on her about 3 days ago and she was fine but I didn’t notice the spots until yesterday.

Sometimes plant sweat the same ways humans do ! It could also be hard water spots if any water got on the plant. I also noticed those white splotches on these same type of Echeveria , at ny local Home Depot 🤷🏻♀️ , but I would give a suggestion to maybe repot your plant. Sometimes after a plant is bought from a store it might not be in the best condo or as far as soil. It can get compacted/hydrophobic easily . You want to make sure when you are watering your plant that it’s not just running over the roots and dampening the top layer but not underneath, it’s tricky but you can avoid that by repotting, making sure your soil is aerated when watering ( I usually take a wooden dowl or any poking tool) and poke holes into your soil, I also find bottom watering efficient in making sure they are fully watered to THEIR liking.
You also may want some clean new soil for those roots, because it’s possible that your current soil could be out of nutrients for your plant. These are all suggestions! Don’t feel inclined or overwhelmed! 🌱✨💚🤗 succulents may do well at first in there store pots/dirt, but I find long term it’s not the best.
Another thing that’s important is you have drainage, in your new pot of you do decide to repot, and make you use a pot the same size or maybe one size bigger. I find the tighter the better. & I hope these tips help 👍🏼💚✨
