Tips for Success When You Buy Agave

When you buy Agave, plant them in well-draining soil and position in full sun to part shade. Agaves detest soggy feet, so be sure to avoid waterlogged spots. Once planted, they need only the occasional deep watering to keep them looking their best. For container growth, use a sandy cactus mix and ensure your pot has adequate drainage. Some Agave species are cold-hardy, while others prefer a frost-free spot—so always check variety guides for suitability.
