# I have five agave Americana that are planted in the front garden bed…

_Posted by Cmcruelt93 on 2024-01-11_

I have five agave Americana that are planted in the front garden bed of my house in south Texas. 4 of them are thriving but one looks like this. Significantly smaller with yellow spots. Any idea what’s going on?

Looks like possibly edema. Usually happens after heavy storms. Does the affected one have the same drainage as the rest or does water pool in that spot when it rains?

Yeah all the draining is the same with no pooling!
