Agave V. Reginae Compacta key facts
- Growing Difficulty
- Intermediate
- Lifespan
- 20-30 years
- Size
- 15-25cm
- Light & Placement
- It prefers direct sun, but avoid harsh summer afternoon sun, which scorches the leaves. Being small, it can live on a windowsill or shelf.
- Watering
- Water sparingly, only after the soil dries. In winter keep it almost completely dry.
- Temperature & Overwintering
- Cold tolerance is said to be about 5°C. In winter keep it out of frost and above 5°C.
- Soil & Repotting
- A fast-draining mix is essential. Even mature plants are only 15-25 cm across and grow very slowly, so it can stay in a small pot for years.
- Pests & Cautions
- Excess moisture causes root rot, so let the pot dry out fully before watering. With spines only at the tips and toothless margins, it is safe to handle.
