Spider Agave key facts
- Growing Difficulty
- Beginner-friendly
- Lifespan
- Perennial (20-30 years)
- Size
- 30-60cm
- Watering
- Minimal
- Light & Placement
- It tolerates direct sun to bright partial shade and handles some shade. Being spineless, it can be placed anywhere, even in homes with children or pets.
- Watering
- It tolerates slightly more water than other agaves; watering once the soil dries is enough.
- Temperature & Overwintering
- Cold tolerance is fairly high, reportedly down to about -10°C, so it can overwinter outdoors in much of Japan.
- Soil & Repotting
- As it grows on limestone cliffs, a fast-draining mix is essential. Growth is slow, so repotting is rarely needed.
- Propagation
- It produces many offsets, so it can be propagated by division. Separate offsets once they have grown a bit for easier rooting.
