Bare-Root Planting and Care

1. Unpack the plant carefully and inspect the roots.

2. Plant in a fast-draining succulent mix or suitable outdoor soil.

3. Position the plant in a sunny location, gradually acclimating it if it has been grown in lower light.

4. Avoid excessive watering, especially before roots have re-established.

5. Protect the plant from unsuitable cold or wet conditions.

Important Safety and Growing Notes

Agave leaves can have sharp tips and edges. Handle carefully and choose a planting location away from walkways, pets, and children.

Agave americana is the century plant, not the species generally used to produce tequila. It can become very large over time, so allow adequate space and check local growing restrictions. In some regions, agaves can spread beyond cultivation or become invasive.
