Agave McKelveyana key facts
- Growing Difficulty
- Beginner-friendly
- Size
- 20-35cm rosette
- Temperature
- -15〜38℃
- Humidity
- 10〜35%
- Light & Placement
- Keep it in a sunny, well-ventilated spot. Native to dry highlands, it does best where it is sheltered from rain.
- Watering
- Water only after the soil has dried out completely, and cut back especially in winter; avoiding excess moisture is key to healthy growth.
- Soil & Repotting
- A gritty, very fast-draining mix is ideal. It is small and slow-growing, so repot only once it becomes root-bound.
- Temperature & Overwintering
- Extremely cold-hardy, tolerating down to -15°C, so it suits ground planting even in cold regions. Keep it on the dry side in winter.
- Size
- Small and space-efficient. Perfect for balcony growing
- Notes
- Sensitive to excess moisture. Rain shelter needed in wet season
