Aloe Vera The Aloe Vera plant's leaves have developed few black spots. How do I get rid of these black spots? Is it caused by Fungi (Phytophthora, Alternaria alternata)?

I also notice that the plant is weak and bent. It's roots are coming out and it is not able to support itself.

It looks like some kind of a fungal/bacterial infection. I found this on Google: Black spots on plants are usually caused by a fungal or bacterial infection called black spot disease. It can affect many types of plants, but it's especially common on fleshy-leaved plants like roses. Symptoms Black, round spots that appear on the upper sides of leaves Spots may have feathery margins and be dark brown to black in color Spots may start as pinheads and grow to be ½ inch in diameter Infected leaves may turn yellow and fall off Raised, purplish-red blotches may appear on one-year old canes Causes Black spot disease can be caused by a variety of fungi and bacteria, including Asterina, Diplotheca, and Glomerella Black spot disease is more common in wet, humid conditions Treatment Spray the plant with a fungicide Spray the plant with a mixture of water, baking soda, horticultural oil, and horticultural soap Use neem oil, an all-natural fungicide Prune plants to improve air circulation Water early in the day so leaves can dry before night Prevention Inspect your garden regularly in the spring Start preventative spraying before temperatures reach 60°F
