What kind of water are you using? It kind of looks to me like mineral deposits.

Yeah it looks like some type of mineral deposit to me. I would make sure to use only distilled water and I might think about switching to a plastic pot or one that is glazed.on the inside. you might run the risk of minerals from the Terra cotta pot leaching into the soil. But that is just me, I am not as experienced as many of the other growers here.

I am using rain water with 20ppm

Can you keep the pot dry from water and water tray for a while to see if those are mould, they will disappear in drier conditions.

Thank you. I have put them out side seem to be better more air flow. As it had this mould on a window shill in my room where it gets really hot and cold quick and humidity in mornings are high as I sleep in a small room with 1 other person. I just hope it's not to cold for them . and the light I put them under is doing them good. It seems the pither plant is getting legie. But I dont know what thay grow like. Thank you!
