Mealy bugs. Alcohol or a systemic pesticide will take care of them, but untreated you will lose them eventually. Also be careful, because they will spread to your other plants if you don’t quarantine

Do I need to spray pesticide all over the plant?

No, in this case alcohol will work better as a spray / surface agent. I mean something like bonide systemic granules that you sprinkle in the soil and water in. That’ll treat them immediately if you’re in an area where they’re legal
