Not enough water:
When the leaves of your Agave Colorata are curling up, then it could be because the soil is too dry. Watering your plant well during the summer will help to prevent this from happening. Sometimes though, you may have already watered your plant too much and it has not been able to absorb all of the water that you have given it.
What Is The Ideal Temperature For Agave Colorata?
Agave Colorata can grow quite well in a wide range of temperatures. The plant will prefer to be in a warmer climate and is often planted near the sea. It is most comfortable when the temperature of the air is between 20 °C and 35 °C.
You should ensure that your Agave Colorata does not get too cold, otherwise it will not survive for very long at all. If the temperature drops below 0 °C, then your plant will die but it will not survive if it gets above 40 °C either.
The ideal temperature for Agave Colorata is a warm and mild subtropical climate. Agave Colorata will respond well to higher temperatures, but it needs to have some protection from hot weather. The ideal time to plant an Agave Colorata is from the end of winter through the end of spring. During this time, the plant will not be too cold and will not be too hot, so it can still grow well with minimal problems.
High humidity is another cause for your Agave Colorata’s leaves to curl up. This often happens when you have planted your Agave Colorata in the ground, because then the humidity cannot escape as easily. Agave Colorata is not a plant that likes to be in a lot of humidity, otherwise its leaves will become damaged.
