    Could you include a picture? This would help me to see what is going on. I'm still inclined to say that they are spores. Are they the same color as spores, or different?

    You mention dish of water. The pot itself should not sit in water. A tray filled with water and pebbles; to keep the pot above the water is best.
    Make sure the air conditioning is not blowing on the plant.
    Maidenhair Ferns can be kinda fussy; they need to be moist but not over wet.

    Maidenhair do need sun, just not full direct sunlight.
    Try for a morning sunlight and shade afternoon area. Dappled sunlight is also a good place for your ferns.

    It looks like the Silver Dollar Maiden Hair Fern, or Adiantum peruvianum

    There are many types of Adiantum with many different styles and looks, and they all have very similar care.

    That would be the Maidenhair Vine, or Muehlenbeckia complexa.

    Here are some sources that will give you information: http://florawww.eeb.uconn.edu/198501373.html

    I would contact the agricultural management branch in your country for more information on how to control invasive species in your area, though. They will be able to offer more information geared toward your area, and laws.

    Hm... unfortunately, your photo did not come through. I am unable to see the damage. There are a few things that can cause this, though. With these plants, they don't want any direct light. It needs to be bright, but completely indirect. It could be that there is slightly too much light on the plant.

    Lack of humidity can cause this, too. Spraying may not be enough unless you can spray almost constantly. A humidifier can help, as can a tray of pebbles and water underneath.

    Another thing that can cause this is low temperatures. Anything below 50 F will start to kill the plant.

    Last, sometimes overfeeding can cause this. This is not common, though.

    Here is an article that will help you to grow these plants: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/foliage/maidenhair-fern/maidenhair-fern-care.htm
