Why is my Aloe vera developing black spots?

Our Advice:

Black spots on an Aloe vera plant can be a sign of a fungal or bacterial infection. This can be caused by overwatering, poor drainage, or high humidity levels. Remove any affected leaves and isolate the plant from others to prevent the spread of infection. Consider adjusting the watering and humidity levels, or applying a fungicide to the plant.
