Common Name: Caribbean Agave
Country of Origin: Mexico & Central America
This beautiful muted green succulent commonly known as the 'Caribbean Agave', is a type of Agave plant closely related to the famous Blue Agave, typically known to make Tequila. Much like the Blue Agave, the Caribbean Agave is known for its use to make Mezcal, the national spirit of Mexico. Pots sold separately.
Care Instructions:
Light tolerance: Enjoys full sun except during hot summer days when partial shade is recommended.
Water tolerance: Water once a week (preferably on schedule). Allow the soil to be dry between waterings. Do not overwater as too much moisture will lead to root rot. During the summer, Aeoniums are dormant, they may not look as great and need less water. Soil: Enjoys gritty succulent potting soil. Feed during the growing season (winter to spring) by adding new soil. Avoid fertilizing your Agave during the summer. If you grow them in containers, repot them with fresh potting soil every 2 -3 years.
