Most people know Agave tequilana as a gorgeous succulent. Expect the plant to develop and grow to a height of up to 1.8 m (6 ft). The broad, long, green leaves with ruffled edges are the plant’s most distinctive feature. Expect the plant to produce green flowers that start to bloom in the summer.
Growing Conditions
The Blue Agave plant is no exception to the rule that species that live in dry or semiarid environments need lots of sunlight to grow. When raising these young animals outdoors, be sure to pick a lovely location where they may get at least six hours a day of strong, direct sunshine. Plants should be kept indoors near windows that face the south or west for the most light. If you are unable to provide your Blue Agave plants the required quantity of sunlight each day, you should supplement their routine with artificial light.
Agave plants in their natural habitat are accustomed to enduring harsh circumstances. All year long, they prefer warmer temperatures in the 68–86 °F (20–30 °C) range. It is advised to grow your plants indoors in containers if you reside in an area with harsh winters and subfreezing temperatures. When temperatures begin to fall below 50 °F (10 °C), especially in the winter, move outside-grown plants inside to protect them from frost.
Watering
Keep in mind that mesmerizing Blue Agaves’ succulent leaves can store a lot of water when you water them. Only the first month after planting will these plants need frequent watering because of their high drought tolerance. Succulents that you have recently planted will be content if you give them a nice, deep soak once a week. You can water your plants less frequently in areas with high humidity and rainfall.
