Giant Agave key facts
- Growing Difficulty
- Beginner-friendly
- Lifespan
- Perennial (20-40 years)
- Size
- 100-200cm
- Watering
- Minimal
- Notes
- Grows very large, so plenty of space is needed
- Light & Placement
- Direct sun is essential. Reaching 1-2 m tall and 2-3 m or more across, it really needs to be planted out in a spacious outdoor spot.
- Watering
- Water lightly, only after the soil has dried. In the ground it can live on rainfall alone.
- Temperature
- Slightly tender (to about -5C)
- Soil & Repotting
- Use a fast-draining mix. It grows fairly fast and becomes a large plant within a few years, so move potted plants to a big container early or plant them out.
