Agave 2

Agaves are characterized by a rosette of succulent or leathery leaves that range in size from a few centimeters to more than 2.5 meters (8 feet) in length, depending on the species. Most bear spines along the edges and the tip of the leaf, for which they are occasionally confused with unrelated cacti.

Care

1. Needs well-draining soil, like rocky, sandy, or cactus soil.
2. Requires full sun, with at least six hours of light daily.
3. Plant in the spring or early fall.
4. Prefers neutral to slightly acidic soil.
5. Does not grow well in humidity.
6. Hold off on fertilizer.
7. Water only when the soil is dry.
