How to grow agave

1. Breeding environment

1. Flower soil: Use loose, fertile, and well-drained flower soil, which is beneficial to the growth of the plants.

2. Watering: Provide an appropriate amount of water to meet the needs of the plant, but do not allow water to accumulate. You can water it more during the growing season, but you need to control the water in winter.

3. Light: There should be sufficient light, but not too strong light. Generally speaking, it is best to place it in a place with scattered light. In summer, be sure to avoid too strong light, as too strong light will make the color of its leaves look ugly.

4. Temperature: 15 to 25 degrees is best. In winter, please note that the temperature needs to be maintained above five degrees to ensure a safe winter.

2. Prevention and control of pests and diseases

The main diseases are "anthracnose" and the main insect pests are "scale insects" etc. Especially in summer, when the temperature is high and the humidity is high, some diseases and insect pests are very likely to occur. Monitor and prevent before it happens. Once symptoms appear, spray the medicine for treatment in time.

3. Change the pot regularly

No matter how good the substrate is, it will become airtight and the nutrients will decrease after a period of time, so it is best to repot once a year. Replacing most of the substrate with new ones will greatly help its future growth.

4. Regular pruning

This is also very necessary. Some diseased leaves or leaves that are too dense will affect the appearance and also consume a lot of nutrients. So trim them off promptly.
