Agave Tropicana is a tiny succulent boasting green and white leaves. Its easy-to-grow nature makes it an ideal succulent for beginners. This agave is highly variable in form, but in general, the rosettes are small and compact, composed of short, rigid, thick leaves that are green with a pattern of distinctive white markings. The markings are generally along leaf keels or margins, giving a sort of polyhedral appearance.
It is very impressive when big, with its bold structure, and beautiful form. On the rare occasion when it finally blooms, it is a complete show-stopper; The stalk bolts to the sky, and the showy flowers grace the neighborhood. It works beautifully as a single large specimen and also when planted amassed with other agaves. Tough and particularly indestructible this Native beauty should be in anyone’s drought-tolerant landscape. Works particularly well when planted with ornamental grasses nearby.
Place the Succulents anywhere it can receive plenty of suns or bright light. Avoid intense, direct sunlight until the plant has acclimatized to its new environment. Make sure the soil is moist at all times during the spring and summer months. Water when soil is dry to the touch, which is approximately every 7 – 10 days. Avoid water it daily. Water them more in spring and summer and less in winter, and it’s better to underwater them than overwater them.
