Hey guys! I have been growing aloe vera for years. I have shifted my house a few months back. I planted some aloe vera in a pot and kept it at the window sill. I see thesestrabge white tiny worm like patches everywhere on the plant. It clearly looks infected. What do I do to make it normal again!? The plant was all plain green in my old house..

It looks pretty bad, I have never seen this kind on my aloe Vera.

Looks like fungus, IDk just pull it out, wash it under running tap water and put it in fresh soil.

They are strong plant, will survive.

Less water is best for aloe Vera, and plenty of sun light.

Greetings, welcome to the Forums.

This looks like a type of scale insect (Hemiptera) but I'm not certain what kind.
It is not White Aloe Scale (Duplachionaspis exalbida).

Consider treating with a horticultural oil or insecticidal soap, but when an infestation is this severe, it is sometimes best to dispose of the plant before it spreads further.

I agree that Aloe vera will do best in full sun.
