Powdery mildew?

[AlboDean]

Hi all,

Is this powdery mildew on my Ficus or could it just be dust? It’s on pretty much all of the leaves. It comes off when wiped.

Thanks,

Al

I get the same thing from misting my plants.
As far as I know it's nothing to worry about.

Ah, thanks both! That makes sense!

I have found that the mineral spots drastically reduce if you use filtered water for misting. I just fill my bottle out of our Brita pitcher.

I’ll give that a try, cheers!
