Aloe Vera. It has some sort of veiny lines on the leaf. Does anyone know what it could be?

Possibly a miner. I would remove leaves & destroy

I agree with @moore.794. Whatever it is, pull off and place in a plastic bag and tie it up. Some #neem oil could help what plant remains. Make sure you keep her out of the sun with the oil on it. #aloevera #aloe #advice

thank you everyone for your help! 😊 My mom had grown it and she noticed these lines on some of them. I will cut the ones infected and throw them out. I'm just curious what is miner??

A miner is an insect that layes its eggs just under the skin. Eggs hatch into larvae that eat & leave tunnels under skin. @dee87 @lovestogarden @gjones

Check out the #leafminer for other pictures that have been posted. I get them very often on my citrus trees. @gjones @moore.794 💞

@lovestogarden how do you get rid of them?? My mother had her aloe vera inside the house. Does neem oil work for you?
