White stuff

#Philodendron what is this white stuff on my plant. Should I be worried? Also the picture that says Nithin, I literally just moved him there cus I just repotted him like 2 seconds ago and it is a temporary spot. I will add a grow light.

@SolidGold well, both tap and purified water tend to have minerals that harden when dry. You must have gotten water on the leaves which caused that residue to build up everytime it dried. If the water shows no signs of hurting the plant overall you can still use it, but you will have to be careful not to get any water on the leaves and just water the soil only.
Are you watering with tap water?
Looks like calcified water which hapens when you water with tap water and you live in an area with hard water
you need to clean this bad boys off with some neem oil or a nice cloth with water it looks like water droplets that dried up but if u clean ur plant off it will grow bigger n better than ever hope this helps babe try bottom watering
@Seedstarter sometimes tap sometimes bottled water
