Aloe Rust


There is an Aloe vera plant in the garden that I have been observing for almost a year.  This Aloe vera plant has spots that look like an Aloe rust.

I haven't had an Aloe vera plant that has this kind of spots, that is why I am not sure if this is really what they called Aloe rust.  It might be something else.

This rust-like spots started when the plant was still very young, a pup attached to the mother plant.  What is intriguing is that it is the only one that has it.  The rest of the pups were spotless.

When I removed the pup from the mother plant and replanted it, I thought the spots will be gone, but the spots remained as the plant grows older.

I did not do anything to treat the plant because I wanted to observe more as the plant grows older and bigger.

What I observed is that the spots will start to show when the leaves become older, because younger leaves have no spots.

Also, I think it is not contagious because I haven't seen anything like this from the rest of the Aloe vera in the garden.

I was also curious if its pups will have spots, but the plant has not given a pup since.


I cut open the spotted leaves to check if the gel inside were affected, but the gel was fine.  The spots were just at the leaf rind.

For now, I will not make any treatment to the plant because I will continue to observe and wait for it to give some pups.
