# Does this look like scale or something else? It’s slightly raised so…

_Publicado por Plants\&Pets 🌱🐱🐶 el 2024-11-13_

Does this look like scale or something else? It’s slightly raised so I thought it was scale but I can’t scrape it easily with my fingernail and even wiping it down with a rubbing alcohol soaked paper towel and kind of scrubbing at it won’t remove it. The plant is generally underwatered and is a couple of metres away from an east facing window.

Are you able to get a closer-up, in-focus photo? They don’t look like scales to me but it’s hard to see here

A fungus?… maybe black spot? 🤗💚🪴
