Plant Bio
Unlike many Agaves, Agave Attenuata is an evergreen perennial succulent which produces a handsome rosette of silvery pale green leaves, without teeth or terminal spines. The rosette is composed of flexible leaves which gracefully arch back, resembling an open flower. This Agave derives its common name from the impressive arching flower stalk which emerges from the rosette in summer. Reaching up to 5-10 ft. in height, it reflexes back towards the ground before arching up again like a foxtail. It bears greenish-yellow flowers which give way to seed pods and many new plantlets. This Agave makes a dramatic focal point or accent & can be used in decorative pots.
Watering
During summer, Water daily or when the soil starts to become slightly dry at the top. During Winter season water once in 2 days or when the soil starts to become slightly dry at the top. Keep the soil lightly moist at all times, but do not overwater as this will cause brown spots and leaf drop. Curly or dry leaves suggest, the plant is dry and needs watering. Water in the early morning or late evening when temperatures are cooler. Always check your soil before watering.
