Agave potatorum f.ma minima - agave p. compact (14 cm pot)

Genus of over 200 species of rosette-forming monocarpic perennials and succulents of desert and mountainous regions of North and Central America. Agave potatorum is beautiful not only for its small size but also for its silvery white leaves. This cultivar is particularly attractive for its short leaves, compact and bushy shape which also make it suitable for cultivation in pots.

Pedoclimatic needs

Grow in slightly acidic, moderately fertile and well-drained soil, in full sun. This variety is not very rustic and suffers damage if temperatures drop below 0°/-2°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.
