I bought this Aloe vera a few weeks back. The substrate was dripping wet, so I immidiately took it out of the pot and removed the substrate and let it dry for some days before repotting it. Learning from earlier experience, I have it in quarantine..
I noticed these marks on the leaves recently and wonders if it anything to worry about? Having no experience with mining bugs on indoor plants I am not sure what this is?

Re: Strange marks on Aloe vera
Looks like leaf-miner tunnels.
Never seen them on succulents even though my lemon tree is nearby and suffers from these yearly...
Hopefully your plant just has non-pest damage to the epidermis!
