Hello and thank you for accepting me.
I have been keeping cacti and succulents for some time now, but can't seem to identify one that the kids brought from a friend's house to ours.
I thought it may have been part of the Agave family but still can't ID it ?
It's not doing the best and I want to do everything I can to help it out !

Thank you

It looks like it could be an Agave angustifolia variegata. However, it does not look healthy. It needs more light. A lot more light. Here in Arizona, when established in the soil, they can take full summer sun (110+°F) with no issue. They like and need light. When healthy, the leaves will be much more rigid and the plant will be much more symmetrical.

Hello Vipassana,

Thank you for your advice. The kids told me it came from quite a dark apartment and sadly my house isn't the brightest either. I have it right in a window now which gets sun from morning to 2pm. So I will move it in the afternoon to another window in hopes that this well help it. I'm from Toronto, Canada so sadly it can't go outside.

Fingers crossed I can help it.

Regards
Neil
