Cultural
information: The "Century Plant" is an easy
keeper. The Century Plant inherited its name because it is said
that they bloom once every 100 years. If your lucky and your social security
doesn't run out... you
may see your Century plant bloom.
Blue Agave needs all the light you can give it. Place your
plant in direct sunshine. Strong southern exposure, sunrooms, or
greenhouses are recommended.
Water Century Plants about once every 2 to 3 weeks applying
enough water so that water runs from the containers drain holes.
Feed quarterly with Peter's Plant Food available from our
houseplant sponsor.
Very few pests affect Blue Agave. On rare occasion I have seen
Foliar Mealy bug.
Agave Plants can be found in 6" containers thru large
14" specimen plants. They are very slow growing so be prepared
to fork out some dough for a nice plant.
