Agave americana v.26 h.70-90 cm

Like other agave species and this do best with full sun, so plant them in a location that receives at least six to eight hours of sunlight each day. However, it is possible to grow these plants in light shade if your site doesn’t meet the requirements for full sun. These plants do best in dry, sandy soil. They can tolerate a range of other soil types, including clay soil, but well-draining soil is an absolute requirement. In overly moist soil can develop root rot. The long and fleshy leaves are designed to store water during times of drought, so don’t hover around these plants with a watering can. However, these plants appreciate regular watering during the spring and summer growing season.Warm temperatures with low humidity levels make for ideal climate conditions. Take note that the century plant is hardy to about -6 degrees , but is likely to suffer damage from frost.
