Agave Sisalana (Sisal) key facts

- Size
- 100-200cm (rosette diameter)
- Temperature
- 0〜40℃

- Light & Placement
- It prefers direct sun. With a rosette reaching 1.5-2 m across, it is best planted out in a spacious spot such as a tropical garden.
- Watering
- Highly drought tolerant. Moderate water promotes growth
- Temperature & Overwintering
- Cold tolerance is fairly low, with a working range of 0-40°C. Where temperatures fall below 0°C, protect it in winter.
- Soil & Repotting
- Use a fast-draining mix. Its leaves reach 1-1.5 m long, so move potted plants to a large container early or plant them out.
- Pests & Cautions
- The margins are nearly toothless, but the hard terminal spine is sharp, so plant it away from walkways and protect your eyes when working.
