could be powdery mildue, I would try spraying with milk at about 3% with water and wash off few hours later.

It is powdery mildue. It's difficult to control and will spread throughout your room if left untreated. I would throw out all plants infected, to save the rest of the room.

Milk is the BOMB at controling powdery mildue, commercial rose growers use milk. I found 1 spray a day for 3 days got rid of it easy!
U can also use a PH up/down mix as spray as mildue dont like PH change, but milk works so well its just amasing!

your welcome m8, just remember to wash off after few hours or it will start to smell/go bad.

should fix um up in next few days. I have tryed, cinnamon tea, garlic, hydrogen peroxide and neem oil. but milk works best!
