Scale on pachoni

Any clue if this is scale? I've tried scrapping and using soap but no success. If I decide to harvest and powder would I risk getting ill?

It's scarring. Scale are infernal bugs that infest plants and can be rubbed off with a q-tip.

I have this in a southern facing window, hardly water, and have decent ventilation. Have a large succulent/cactus collection and nothing else is showing these changes.

I read a little bit on this, any advice to remedy?

If it’s a scale insect then take a Q-tip and dab it with some rubbing alcohol.
But that looks a lot more like scarring than scale insect.

yeah hasn't come off with soapy water, alcohol q-tip or a knife.

Any recommendations to prevent scaring? or who cares just cosmetic?

Not bugs, just a scar from the environment/growing conditions.
Nothing to worry about, purely cosmetic as you said.

But is it edible :smile:

Just kidding I'm assuming it's fine and you chuck the skin anyways.

Had some beautiful 12 foot specimens that I had my sister watch. She killed them within a week. Been trying to let my new guys pup out, or grow tall enough to chop and replant.
