Signs of Cold Stress in Parry's Agave
Symptoms
Parry's Agave flourishes in warm conditions and cannot withstand cold. Optimal growth occurs when temperatures exceed 60℉. In winter, it must be maintained above 50℉. If temperatures drop below 40℉, the plant may weaken, droop, and be susceptible to root decay. Minor frost damage might not show immediate signs, but the plant will progressively decline after about a week.
Solutions
Remove frost-damaged sections, checking for root rot. If roots are rotted, excise them, and the plant can be propagated via cuttings. Relocate indoors to a warm spot immediately, positioning it near a south-facing window for abundant light. If natural light is inadequate, provide supplementary illumination.

Symptoms
In summer, Parry's Agave should be kept below 75℉. When temperatures surpass 95℉, the plant will stop growing, dehydrate, wilt, and be more prone to sun damage.
Solutions
Discard sunburnt and decayed portions. Protect the plant from intense afternoon sun until it recovers and resumes growth. For plants with root rot, cease watering until new roots develop.
