The black spots on your 'Mangave Jaguar' leaves, especially when more pronounced in new growth, are likely a natural characteristic of this specific Mangave cultivar.
Mangave 'Jaguar' is known for its distinctive dark spotting and mottling on its leaves, which can become more prominent with increased light exposure. This pigmentation is a desirable trait for this hybrid, a cross between Agave and Manfreda, and is not typically a sign of disease or pest issues if the plant is otherwise healthy.
Considerations:
Light Levels: The intensity of the spotting can be influenced by the amount of light the plant receives; higher light levels often enhance the dark coloration.
Normal Growth: As new leaves emerge and mature, their characteristic spotting can become more defined as they are exposed to light.
If the spots are accompanied by other symptoms like mushy leaves, significant discoloration beyond the typical spotting, or signs of pests, then further investigation into potential issues might be warranted. However, based on the description, it appears to be a normal and attractive feature of your 'Mangave Jaguar'.
