Agave Lechuguilla key facts
- Growing Difficulty
- Beginner-friendly
- Lifespan
- 15-25 years
- Size
- 30-60cm (rosette diameter)
- Temperature
- -10〜40℃
- Humidity
- 5〜30%
- Light & Placement
- It needs strong direct sun. Small and easy to manage, it evokes a wild desert look in a sunny outdoor spot.
- Watering
- Tolerates extreme drought. Minimal watering needed
- Temperature & Overwintering
- Cold tolerance is high, down to about -10°C. Adapted to extremely dry conditions, it should be kept on the dry side in winter.
- Soil & Repotting
- Use a fast-draining mix. The rosette is small at 30 to 50 cm across, so repot into a slightly larger pot once root-bound.
- Propagation
- It produces offsets vigorously and forms colonies, so it is easily propagated by division. Wear gloves, as the leaf tips are sharp.
- Notes
- Extremely sharp leaf tips. Careful placement in gardens
