HELP! Is this scale on my snake plant ? @Kiersten
0ft to light, indirect
10β pot with drainage
Last watered 3 years ago
10
@sarahsalith about 4. Should I cut them off and pray? Is there any other thing thatβs not a pest that can cause tan spots? Some are indented
@Hayleyb11 I would first using rubbing alcohol and removing all the scale.
Scale, if treating small infestations, responds well to pruning and rubbing alcohol. For larger infestations, youβll likely need to discard your plant.

@KikiGoldblatt thank you! Since I just bought this plant two days ago the shop is letting me bring it back for an exchange or refund. I donβt want to deal with it!
@Kiersten needed to scratch with my nail. The seller confirmed it was scale because the whole bunch ended up being infested!
@didikillit Youβll be able to remove scale without scratching it. Just a gentle nudge will cause it to fall off.
If itβs leaving a wound, itβs likely just normal scars that donβt need to be removed. When scale comes off it may leave a very faint, small discoloration but never anything that alters the texture of the leaf
