Growing Tips
Plant in full sun for best growth and coloration.
Allow soil to dry completely between waterings. Overwatering can cause root rot.
In cooler climates, grow in containers and bring indoors during freezing temperatures.
Agave tequilana is monocarpic, meaning it flowers once after 8–12 years and then dies—but it will produce offsets (“pups”) before doing so.
