Agave 'Variegated Caribbean'

Binomial name

Agave angustifolia

Light requirements

This agave loves soaking up the sun! Full sun is its happy place, though it can tolerate a bit of shade if needed.

Soil preferences, including pH and drainage

Agave angustifolia thrives in well-draining soil and isn't too picky about pH, though neutral to slightly acidic soil works best. If your soil holds too much water, consider adding sand or grit to keep those roots healthy and dry.

Water needs

This plant is a pro at thriving on neglect—it’s drought-tolerant and only needs occasional watering once established. Think “less is more,” and let the soil dry out between waterings.
