Hmmmm, perhaps I have been giving it too much sun, seeking that Violet tint, before it was ready. Thanks, I'll move it back a bit

How long has it been since you've seen it's roots:)?

Not since I planted it, it arrived bareroot, so about 3 months. Do you think it's a root issue?

About 2-3 weeks ago all of a sudden I noticed one of my big ol Agavoides getting random yellow leaves. So I pull it out and the water wasn't quite draining. The soil it was in was about 3 years old with maybe 30% pumice. I've gotten much better with my mix. Thanks to you guys;). Anyways, the roots were not rotten, but not as abundant as I would have liked. The stem wasn't rotten either. Just random leaves were starting to turn yellow and soft. Oh ya I must add the pot was glazed, had 3 holes, but that dang glaze stops the moisture from evaporating.

You use a gritty mix so I can't imagine the water isn't draining. So it could just be burned leaves. Just to be on the safe side you may want the check the whole plant. You know what they say when you go looking for something;)...

I'll check it out this weekend. It's weird, never seen this before, you can see the gaps where I've removed other shriveled leaves.

I bought some terra cotta planters on Zulily, they're really cute , about 3 inches tall x 6 inches across. Perfect except they glazed the insides!! Why would they do that? I got my drill and added more holes in the bottom but I'm still concerned. I've got an echeveria elegans with many pups, I'm moving it to the planter so we will see if the glazing is going to be an issue. It's a thin glaze, not heavy, so perhaps it will be okay

The story I just wrote is the only time I've seen random leaves turning yellow. It was so weird because the roots and stem were not rotten. The bottom third of the pot had moist soil. So that had to be it.

Who glazes the inside of pots?! People who want to be a succulent serial killer that's who;)!

Hahahaha.

Im checking out those roots this weekend. It will be odd though because this plant is not in the standard tall 4 inch pot. It's a squatty shallow 3 inch, with a hole . But who knows, perhaps when I was scooping out the mix I happened to get more of the soil part.

Oh ya I forgot to say ever since I took the Agavoides outta the pot it stopped getting yellow leaves. I just have it in my garage right now sitting upright in an empty plastic container. Still has roots:). I figured it needed to be dried out or something:). Yours may not have any issues like mine because my leaves were yellow and translucent, but I figured I would let you know my situation.

Thanks Kara, I'm going to check today and probably switch pots, perhaps it doesn't like this short one
