Agave Tequilana, also known as the Blue Agave or Tequila Agave, is a majestic and iconic succulent native to the arid regions of Jalisco, Mexico. Renowned for its crucial role in tequila production and striking appearance, this agave species has become a symbol of Mexican culture and heritage.

Key Characteristics:

  • Rosette Form: Agave Tequilana forms a large, symmetrical rosette of thick, fleshy leaves that can reach impressive sizes, often spanning 5 to 7 feet in height and width.

  • Blue-Green Foliage: The leaves are characterized by their striking blue-green hue, which gives the plant its name. They are lanceolate in shape, tapering to a sharp point, and armed with sharp spines along the margins.

Cultivation and Uses:

  • Ornamental Plant: In addition to its economic importance, Agave Tequilana is also cultivated as an ornamental plant for its striking form and blue-green foliage. It is often used in xeriscaping, desert landscaping, and as a focal point in gardens.

Care Requirements:

  • Sunlight: Thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade.

  • Water: Requires infrequent watering, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot.

  • Soil: Prefers well-draining soil, such as a sandy or gravelly mix.

The first two photos serves a display purpose only. The succulent plant housed in the red pot comes in a 190mm 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.
