Please note!

The Agave macroacantha, native to Mexico, has blue-green leaves with small black spines and sharp black points. The sap of this plant is slightly poisonous. This succulent plant forms a dense rosette of fleshy leaves with spiny edges and rarely flowers in our climate. Overwintering in a greenhouse or conservatory is recommended due to insufficient winter hardiness (-5°C).

Pruning

When pruning the Agave macroacantha, it is important to be careful because of the sharp thorns and pointed leaves. Wear gloves and sharp pruning shears to cut away dead or damaged leaves close to the base. Avoid touching the sap, which can be mildly toxic. Prune only when necessary, usually limited to removing dead leaves for healthy growth.

Water requirement

The Agave Macroacantha needs little water because of its succulent properties. It is important to water the plant only once a month, because it retains water in its leaves. Make sure the soil can dry out well between watering to prevent root rot. Place the plant in a bright spot without direct sunlight.

Power supply

The Agave macroacantha requires little nutrition and can thrive with minimal feeding. Make sure the nutrition is well absorbed by the soil to promote healthy growth. Please note: the sap of the plant is slightly poisonous."

Location

The Agave Macroacantha should be placed in a location with plenty of light; direct sunlight is no problem. This spiky succulent from Mexico thrives as a sturdy houseplant. Watering is only required once a month. Repot the plant once a year for optimal growth. Please note that the sap is slightly poisonous.
