Is it just on the stems or leaves as well?

Hard to tell from those pics, but it could be a bunch of insect eggs...?

I'm pretty sure it's WPM(white powdery mildew).

Just wipe it off by hand. Your plants are small enough that it won’t take you very long

If it’s an insect it’s probably mealy bugs. My hibiscus plant had this and it’s a pain in the ass to get rid off.

Your plant looks pretty much fcked to me already to be honest. I agree with those who think scales or mealy bugs. You can try using a q-tip with isopropanol and wipe it off. But I would just throw the whole thing out. Moving forward treat with neem as a preventative. Not sure it works on those bugs but it works on a lot.
