Agave Attenuata key facts
- Growing Difficulty
- Beginner-friendly
- Lifespan
- 10-20 years
- Size
- 50cm-1m
- Temperature
- 5〜35℃
- Light & Placement
- It tolerates anything from direct sun to bright partial shade. Strong summer sun can scorch the leaves, so avoid intense light.
- Watering
- It likes more water than other agaves; water thoroughly once the soil dries. Cut back in winter.
- Temperature & Overwintering
- Its range is 5 to 35°C, and frost sensitivity is its one weakness. Bring it indoors before temperatures fall below 5°C in winter.
- Safety
- No thorns — safe for homes with pets
- Propagation
- It produces many offsets and forms colonies, so it can be propagated by division. Growth is fairly fast, giving a showy plant in a few years.
- Soil & Repotting
- Use a fast-draining mix. It spreads 1 to 1.5 m wide, so pot up or plant in the ground as it grows to give it room.
