Agave - Leuchtenbergia Principipis
Elevate your succulent collection with the extraordinary Leuchtenbergia principis, commonly known as the Prince of Wales Agave. This captivating and rare plant, despite its common name, is not a true Agave but a unique cactus with an agave-like appearance. Prized for its striking sculptural form and intriguing characteristics, this live plant is a must-have for any serious succulent enthusiast.
Why Leuchtenbergia principis Will Captivate You:
Agave-Like Appearance: Admire the plant's unique, triangular, and elongated tubercles that resemble the leaves of an agave, arranged in a distinctive spiral pattern.
Massive Taproot: Discover the plant's large, tuberous root system (caudex), a fascinating adaptation for water storage that contributes to its unusual form.
Rare and Sought-After: A prized possession for collectors, this slow-growing succulent is a true testament to nature's artistry and a conversation starter in any collection.
Stunning Floral Display: In maturity, be rewarded with large, fragrant, diurnal flowers, typically yellow or orange, adding a touch of vibrant beauty to its sculptural silhouette.
Key Features:
Unique agave-like rosettes formed by tubercles
Large, swollen caudex
Showy, fragrant yellow or orange flowers
Slow-growing and long-lived
Care Tips:
Light: Provide bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth.
Watering: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Reduce watering during the winter dormancy period.
Soil: Use a very well-draining cactus or succulent mix, ideally with added grit or pumice.
Temperature: Protect from frost.
The first photo serves a display purpose only. The succulent plant housed in the red pot comes in a 130mm diameter container. While the image provides a representative depiction of what you will receive, but may vary slightly because no two succulents are the same.
