# Saved this aloe from target and it’s doing better than it originally…

_Posted by sammr on 2024-09-16_

Saved this aloe from target and it’s doing better than it originally was. Two of the leaves needed support but are getting stronger. Does anyone know what this could be on the leaves? Is it something i should be concerned about?

looks like mechanical scarring. if that leaf was a bit floppy it could have gouged itself on its neighboring spikes, or some other little scrape along the way. i wouldn’t worry about these marks 😎☀️

This does look like mechanical damage from a tie or twist tie as the plant grows up.
