Desert Agave key facts
- Growing Difficulty
- Beginner-friendly
- Lifespan
- Perennial (20-30 years)
- Size
- 30-60cm
- Watering
- Minimal
- Light & Placement
- A typical desert plant that loves intense direct sun; giving it maximum light is essential. Keep it in a sunny outdoor spot.
- Watering
- Water very sparingly. It is extremely sensitive to excess moisture, so water only after the soil has dried out completely.
- Soil & Repotting
- It needs a very fast-draining mix rich in sand and pumice. Growth is extremely slow, so repotting every few years is enough.
- Temperature & Overwintering
- Very heat-tolerant, and fairly cold-hardy too, reportedly down to about -10°C. Keep it on the dry side in winter.
- Notes
- From desert, avoid humid environments
