My aloe vera is roughly 4 years old and is in succulent soil, the plant pot it’s in sits on top of some gravel where when it’s watered the plant isn’t sat in the water
Over the last 6 months it’s developed these black/brown patches and they are spreading 😬 thought it might be overwatering or lack of sun (it’s not in direct sunlight) so tried more sun for a couple of weeks but it did not help. Tried wiping the patches but they are not coming off
Hoping it’s not thrips, maybe it’s rust fungus? 🤞
