I'd really appreciate it if anyone could tell me what this is on my colocasia esculenta. I grew this one indoors over the winter from a bulb in sunny window. Last time I looked at the leaves closely, it was fine, about 2 weeks ago. Then, I saw one of them had gone a bit brown around the edges and curled up. That's when I discovered these little brown thingies, along with white stuff that looks sort of like salt or tiny sand, on the other leaf.

Would like to know what it is and what to do. TIA!!

PS/and will it contaminate the other plants that are next to it?
