Need help from plant people

I have this cutting of a Virginia creeper that I’m hoping to propagated. It’s been in this water bottle for two weeks. It now has these white spots on it. I have enlarged the picture so you can see

Are the white spots the beginning of roots or is it sick?

Those are Mealy bugs. You can safely treat them with Neem oil
