Agave

GENERAL INFORMATION

• Agave is a genus of monocots native to the hot and arid regions of the Americas.
• Although some Agave species are also native to tropical areas of South America.
• The genus Agave is primarily known for its succulent and xerophytic species that typically form large rosettes of strong, fleshy leaves.

SOIL REQUIREMENT

• Agaves do best in desert climates and zones with mild winters.
• They're very tolerant of drought and heat and grow well in sandy soil with good drainage. 

FEEDING/FERTILIZER REQUIREMENT

• Feeding typically isn't necessary for agave plants.
• In fact, feeding encourages flowering, which you don’t want to happen too soon because most agave plants die after flowering.

LIGHT REQUIREMENT

• Full sun and reflected heat.

WATER REQUIREMENT

• Light watering from either irrigation or natural rainfall during the hot, summer season.
