Aloe family with small scale issue (Edgewater)
Giving away a thriving group of aloe plants. Full transparency: minor, long-standing scale — just 3 small spots total, hasn't spread or affected their health, but wanted to flag it so you can keep them a bit separate from other plants at first if you're cautious about that. Looking for someone who'll actually keep and enjoy them, not just take the pots. Hardy, easy plants if you don't mind a small cosmetic issue. Pickup near Berwyn Red Line by Wednesday.
