Agave Nizandensis key facts
- Growing Difficulty
- Intermediate
- Lifespan
- Perennial (10-20 years)
- Size
- 5-15cm
- Watering
- Minimal
- Light & Placement
- It likes direct sun, but the soft leaves scorch easily, so give bright partial shade in midsummer. A bright indoor windowsill also works.
- Watering
- Water sparingly, once the soil has dried. It dislikes excess moisture, so never let the pot stay wet.
- Temperature & Overwintering
- Cold tolerance is about 5°C. In winter keep it out of frost and above 5°C.
- Soil & Repotting
- Use a fast-draining mix. Even mature plants are only 5-15 cm across and grow slowly, so it can stay in a small pot for years.
- Dormancy Care
- In winter keep it almost completely dry. Watering in the cold season easily damages the roots, so hold off until spring.
