Care And Nurture

Agave that is grown in pots require even more grit in the soil and can actually be planted in a cactus mix.
The addition of small rocks or pebbles to the soil increases the drainage capabilities of the container.
Agave plants in containers will require more water than those in the ground and will need to be repotted every year or so to replenish the soil and root prune the plant.
Agave plant care for container grown plants is otherwise the same and it affords you the ability to bring sensitive forms indoors when temperatures plummet.

You can put it outside in summer and spring, with indirect light, but it will need to remain indoors during fall and winter.

Sunlight	Bright, south or south-east light. If natural light is not adequate, you can supplement with a nice natural white fluorescent bulb.
Watering	When the soil is dry it is time to water. Dry climate, outdoors: Water every two to three days when warm and sunny. Humid, cool or indoors: Water every week. During the fall and winter months, the plants should be watered less frequently in order to promote blooming.
Soil	Use a potting soil mix with a little sand; good drainage.
Temperature	Agave likes warm temperatures in summer and cooler in winter with a minimum of 10 degrees C (50 degrees F). Normal room temperature is great for Agave americana during the growth period. Plants become more tolerant of cold temperatures as they grow larger.
Fertilizer	Apply standard liquid fertiliser every two weeks during the active growing period. Do not fertilise the plant during the resting period.
