Aloes loving the sunshine and 60-70° weather! ☀️ Question: my terra-cotta pots are turning white and dark colors since being indoors? Suggestions on fixing or preventing the problem? Is it a problem?

Totally normal for them to turn white! It is from the salts and minerals from water, soil, or fertilizer that leach through the porous clay and remain on the surface after evaporation.
