Agave pedunculifera (sin. attenuata) ssp dentata - (10 cm pot)

Genus of over 200 species of rosette-forming monocarpic perennials and succulents of desert and mountainous regions of North, Central, and South America. The Agave pedunucluifera is a medium-sized single or clustered perennial succulent up to 1.5/2 meters in diameter and 1/1.5 m in height. It has a rosette made up of soft, glaucous, thornless leaves with finely toothed margins. Apical spine is absent. Very similar to the agave attenuata, it is distinguished from it by the absence of a stem.

Pedoclimatic needs

Grow in moderately fertile, well-drained soil, in full sun or partial shade. Not rustic species, but more resistant to the cold than a. Attenuated. Grow in pots in climates where temperatures drop below -2°/-4°c. During the dry season it resists drought well, although it benefits from regular irrigation by waiting for the earth to dry between one irrigation and another.
