Help! ☹️ I’m not sure what’s happening with my aloe. I always wait until she’s dried out before watering. Any advice would be appreciated!

Maybe it’s a fungal infection from water droplets on leaves after watering? I’m not sure but that’s what comes to mind

Hm, maybe! 🤔 How would I be able to know for sure?

#### Jenn replied on 2025-09-12

You could try to buy a fungicide and use it to wipe the areas or create one with a little baking soda and water. But most important is to try not to let water hit the leaves at all so it doesn’t spread or to blot any splashes and keep the room dry so the fungus doesn’t grow. Maybe try googling how to deal with “aloe rust” since I think this type of plant can also be affected by it!
