Agave Care Guide: Sculptural, Waterwise and Nearly Indestructible
One good agave does the work of a whole garden bed: bold, symmetrical and alive on rainfall alone. The trick is drainage, and almost nothing else.
Growing guides, planting advice and plant care for agave in Australian gardens, written by the team at Nursery Near Me.
One good agave does the work of a whole garden bed: bold, symmetrical and alive on rainfall alone. The trick is drainage, and almost nothing else.
Succulents fail in Australia from humidity and heavy mix far more often than from neglect. Named varieties, a potting mix recipe by ratio, and propagation from leaf and stem.
Sculptural, drought-hardy and almost indestructible in a sunny spot - four agave varieties worth planting, and the sharp drainage every one of them insists on.
Agaves suit Australia embarrassingly well. The real question is where to put them, because some are genuinely dangerous.
