# Help!!! My aloe plant has these smalls bumps on two of the stems and…

Help!!! My aloe plant has these smalls bumps on two of the stems and all I can find on Google is that it could be mites. I can’t find a good remedy for it. It says pesticides but warns that could potentially harm the healthy part of the plant. How do I fix her I really don’t want it to die???

Can you tell us your care habits (idk how else to word it) lol

It sits in the bay window with some other plants. Gets watered every 2-3 weeks. This happened when I go home from college about 3 weeks ago and I was hoping it would just go away. I notice when it gets transported back and forth it has a hard time at first but not usually this long and it’s never had bumps like this

My guesses would be spider mites, overwatering (which I kind of doubt), or potentially a water quality issue. Your water might have too much salt, or some other mineral that’s affecting it.

You can test for them with a damp q-tip and light pressure over the aloe. If it’s lightly tinged red/pink you probably have mites. You can treat mites with neem oil, I’d recommend treating all the other plants it’s near as well. Plants can take some damage when applying pest control

But in my opinion it’s better than mites
