How to grow agave in winter

1. Suitable temperature

The most suitable range is 15 to 25 degrees during the day and 10 to 16 degrees at night. However, if it cannot be guaranteed to be within this range in winter, then it cannot be lower than five degrees, so as to ensure that it can safely spend the winter. If the temperature is very low and the plant is frozen, its leaves will easily become dull and will not return to normal the next year. Appropriate measures to protect it from the cold can be taken, such as moving it indoors or covering it with plastic film.

2. Adequate light

Agave itself has a requirement for light, especially in winter. It needs to be shielded from excessive light in other seasons, but in winter it should receive as much light as possible, which is very helpful for it to survive the winter. On sunny days, you can move the plants that have spent the winter indoors to a well-lit area outdoors to get some sun.

3. Appropriate amount of water

The plants do little growth in winter, so they require very little water. However, if the light conditions are good and the temperature is suitable, you can continue watering. But the amount should not be too much, and the frequency should not be too many. Likewise, fertilizers may not be used.

4. Suitable air humidity

The relative humidity of the air in winter should not be too high, it is better to keep it at around 40%. Generally speaking, being in a relatively dry environment can help it survive the winter.
