Care Guide

1. Light: Agave Desmettiana prefers full sun but can tolerate some shade. In hotter climates, it may benefit from some afternoon shade.

2. Water: These plants are very drought tolerant. Water thoroughly, but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out in between.

3. Soil: A well-draining sandy or succulent mix is essential to prevent root rot.

4. Temperature: This Agave plant prefers warmer, arid climates.

5. Fertiliser: Agaves do not require much feeding. An occasional application of a succulent fertiliser in the growing season (spring and summer) can benefit the plant.

6. Propagation: The Agave Desmettiana produces pups or offshoots that can be removed and replanted.

Note: Wear gloves when handling Agave Desmettiana, as the leaf tips can be sharp.
