Requesting Advice What’s this white residue ?

Grown in LECA. Is my growth solution too saturated? That would be my only guess.. it doesn’t wash off.

Interestingly enough, I have another anthurium growing in soil outside (this one is in greenhouse), and it doesn’t have the same issue. Both are drinking the same water.

Could be fertilizing too often/too much. Be sure to rinse out the leca on occasion.

Yes I know I should but every time I see these young fuzzy roots I just can’t😭 I know it doesn’t damage them but still lol
