The powder of doom...

Pray to god some of the mortar in that brick wall crumbled and landed on your plant.

(And I'm joking, praying isn't going to help...)

Look on line for an herbal tea called "Horse Tail Grass Tea" Buy it in bulk. Mix as directed, brew it and cool it down. When cool put in a spray bottle and hose the plant down. Top, bottom, soil surface and pot. Now spray down everything in the area to get rid of the source. BOOM done!

This is the single most effective PM cure I have ever used. The plants like it too! ORGANIC!!!
Coat evenly and not to be dripping off all over the place. Works wonders in the outdoor veggie garden too!

Forgot to give you the answer to the second part of your question.

Milk has long been popular with home gardeners and small-scale organic growers as a treatment for powdery mildew. Milk is diluted with water (typically 1:10) and sprayed on susceptible plants at the first sign of infection, or as a preventative measure, with repeated weekly application often controlling or eliminating the disease. Studies have shown milk's effectiveness as comparable to some conventional fungicides,[4] and better than benomyl and fenarimol at higher concentrations.[5] Milk has proven effective in treating powdery mildew of summer squash,[5]pumpkins,[4]grapes,[6] and roses.[6] The exact mechanism of action is unknown, but one known effect is that ferroglobulin, a protein in whey, produces oxygen radicals when exposed to sunlight, and contact with these radicals is damaging to the fungus.[6]

OP....take a wet paper towel and gently wipe off white powder, try not to spread

Then mix cooking oil, baking soda and dish washing soap with water then spray the plants until PM is washed off....you may have to repeat once a week for a few weeks

Ingredients:

1 gallon of water
1 tablespoon of baking soda
1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
1 tablespoon of dishwashing liquid

Mix the ingredients together and add them to a spray bottle. Spray your plants weekly, preferably on overcast days to prevent it from burning the foliage

Please, don't use milk, or horsedicks, or any other homemade remedy...
Do it right...Go get some greencure, just add the powder and spray.
its the most effective way to get rid of pm.
To be honest that might not even be powdery mildew.
Have you foliar sprayed recently? Sometimes after water evaporates it leaves behind a mineral residue

I have never tried milk myself but have heard it is a good cure for "pm"
There is some scientific research to back that I quoted in wiki.
However I just go and buy what I need, but we need to keep in mind not everyone can afford these cures and chems as they can be costly and many growers grow because it's too expensive to buy. So for those folks homemade cures are a viable alternative. I also agree that I'm not sure that it is powder mildew
