It is a rubber tree, burgundy. Part shade. In three years it will be 8ft tall. The white spots are indeed just water spots/salts.

Rubber tree.

They are an interesting house plant. In zones 9B and 10, they are sometimes planted in people’s yards which could be a major concern in time.
They can grow to great heights and then have massive root systems. So even in warmer climates I would keep them in pots. It is not unusual for them to grow to 6’ indoors.
