# I noticed a couple days ago that there was a black spot on my aloe…

_Posted by BooksandPlants on 2026-08-22_

I noticed a couple days ago that there was a black spot on my aloe vera. It goes all the way through to the other side and it doesn’t appear to have any of the aloe goop in it. It hasn’t spread to any other leaves or grown at all in size, and I don’t think it’s a light because I have several other smaller succulents that still look healthy. Does anyone know what’s happening?

Did you ever find out what it was? Mine also has that and I haven’t figure out what’s going on (I’m new to plants in general 😅)

No but it’s still healthy so I guess it’s not that big of a deal.
