Though intimidating in appearance, agaves are a low maintenance and easy to grow plant. If maintained in a small container, many species of Agave make fantastic indoors plants, requiring only minimal attention.

Agave are one of the most rewarding, easy to grow, virtually pest free, home and patio plants available that seem to grow best when neglected. They add a wonderful accent to any desert garden or window sill.   You won't get field dug, bare root or immature plants. All our live Agave plants are 2-7 year old and are extremely well established. Agaves come in the growers pot with the growers soil mix (NOT BARE ROOT), are very well packed and only mildly trimmed before shipping. There is NO waiting years for your new Agave to establish itself, NO guessing if a bare root plant will survive the shock of division and transportation, NO having to plant immediately. Just keep the pot in a shady area and water when dry.   The care & culture info. below is a general guideline and may or may not work in your environment. Ideal use:  Border and independent desert garden, Containerized 6"- 20" diameter  10" deep pots.   POOR 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 EXCELLENT Hardiness Shipability Growth Rate Outdoor Zone  8 - 12 (see above)  Avoid frost. Height - Agave vary drastically depending on species (see above). Recommended Container Size - Most gardeners don't realize that Agave do very well in containers. Container size may vary depending on the growth rate of the plant. Allow enough room for growth generally a 6" to a 20" diameter, 10" deep container will do well. Water - Agave must be treated like Cactus and water when nearly dry. Over watering will kill the plant. Light - 70-100% Sun - Morning to afternoon sun is best.
