Just looked at my Pokemonium and it is covered in this white stuff. I am a novice Gardener so have no idea. Any help would be amazing. It just has this white stuff all over it.

Jacob’s ladder in a pot? Have you been watering it with tap water (maybe with plant food in it) that’s got on the leaves? It looks a bit just like water staining.

It could be something like powdery mildew, which is a consequence of things being too dry at the roots.

Is it still in the original pot? Can you put it in the ground, it will be happier there?

Looks like powdery mildew caused by too much moisture or humidity.

It'll come off easily enough look up some treatments and take your pick good luck

Powdery mildew paradoxically is caused by being too dry, especially when there’s not much air circulation round the leaves. Give it a good drink, then repot, possibly into a larger pot. I would just wipe the mildew off with a damp cloth.
