I had a really bad infestation last year. In addition to the yellow sticky traps, I would go round with my handheld vacuum cleaner, tap the pots a couple of times to make the gnats fly out and then suck the little fuckers right out of the air

HELP!
Does anyone know what is happening with my agave plant? 
The little sunken spots are new and I can’t find anything on Google.

Did these divots just appear overnight all at once? Or has it been a short-term progression?
I’m thinking animal or pest, but I can’t say that for certain.
I worked at a plant store here in AZ for a year or so and there’s some people there I could show this to and ask, if you’d like? They would absolutely know.

Yes, can you please ask around? It was overnight. I brought it in after a two days of rain. Brought it back out yesterday and noticed the little dots this afternoon. I also don’t know if a bird or squirrel was picking at it? They are fairly savage around my area.

Yeah small animal is my bet. I’ll see what I can find out!

My friend said it’s “from the inner parts”, and that it will go away on its own

Great to hear — thank you for asking! The little guy is probably just excited spring/summer has returned.

I promised to share a pic of my oak tree ages ago. This one is the bigger one of two. About 1.5m including pot.
How is your little oak @Mno ?
I do have horse chestnuts as well. Around 3m height at 12-14 years old.They need repotting. I just ordered two130 litre pots! That’s going to be my biggest repot yet.

Wow! Beauty! I was thinking of trying chestnut as well. Later this year. My oak is still alive, although not growing much yet. But there’s always hope.

I found a little sycamore (at least I think that’s what it is) in one of my containers. I transplanted it to its own pot. This is my new project now

My geometricus buds have been sitting for ages.
I’ve had an eye on these bugs for a week or so. Trying to figure out if they are helpful or harmful.
After a bunch more were birthed yesterday, I was able to figure out what they are - black aphids. They suck the sap and water from the flower buds. Foes, not friends.
Last night I wiped them off with a wet sponge that had a drop of pesticide in it. Easy peasy.
Today, she thanked me

Hi @TMAC I’m still on Peanut Cactus watch. 2 of my 3 little balls are growing longer. I walked by it this weekend and it scared me, thought a bee 
was sitting on it!

Update on my little agave plant: So far it has not been affected by the little “spots” but it is growing a baby?! 
Do I re-pot it? I don’t want to stress it out.

Totally normal. A good thing, actually! No need to repot. Once baby plant is big enough, should be able to pluck her away intact. Then you have 2 agave.
Or can leave as-is with no ill effects
