At this time of year, agaves should be able to handle quite a bit of water because they're actively growing.Gerhard Bock (Succulents and More)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17583583634141549759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-42530690461575874452017-05-26T08:17:23.659-05:002017-05-26T08:17:23.659-05:00I think it is indeed too much water.

Its other parts are okay anyway so perhaps the other parts had so much drink :)Yowhanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12920526512753882056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-1177215021048690552017-05-26T00:22:39.987-05:002017-05-26T00:22:39.987-05:00Love everyone else's suggestions.

My first thought was sunburn, as thought it was moved out into full sun too quickly, but that doesn't account for the lower leaves looking especially bad.danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-55858795739529588812017-05-25T17:36:04.379-05:002017-05-25T17:36:04.379-05:00Thanks for the suggestions all.

I should have made it clear that this is a potted plant (as all my Agaves are) and so it may just be that it needs more space and a bit of something to eat. :)Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13393082652312828458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-11289501389291770472017-05-25T14:53:54.740-05:002017-05-25T14:53:54.740-05:00Hmmm...thinking...you might pop it out of the grou...Hmmm...thinking...you might pop it out of the ground and look at the roots. Sniff, see if you smell rot. <br /><br />If the other impressa is doing well, what's the diff in location, soil, sun exposure between that one and this one?

Now, my A. impressa problem is easier to diagnose -- planted near the mailbox, it continually gets hit with packages, and the leaves show it!Denisehttp://agrowingobsession.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-3594587903068109742017-05-25T11:10:45.132-05:002017-05-25T11:10:45.132-05:00Hmmm...magnesium deficiency perhaps?
