# Hey guys! Does anyone know what these white scratch/bump looking…

Hey guys! Does anyone know what these white scratch/bump looking things on my ghost plant are or if they’re a problem? Could they be from too much sun?  
I’ve had fungus gnats but I’ve finally gotten rid of most of them. Ik those eat dead plant material though and my plant is very much alive. I make SUPER sure not to overwater her. I’ve been using some neem oil mixed into their water for months which has helped with the gnats \& the plants seem to love it. She seems happy overall despite the marks \& gnats. The marks have only shown up in the past couple weeks.

If anyone knows what it is, what causes it, if it’s a problem, \& if so, how to fix it please lmk!  
Thank you for reading \& have a lovely day fellow plant lovers! 🫶🏻☀️

I'm not really sure but that could be normal. I have similar looking bumps on my painted Echeveria. I think they are water storage.
