Agave Geminiflora

Agave geminiflora is a striking, slow-growing succulent known for its slender, dark green leaves lined with fine white marginal spines. The leaves are narrow, almost needle-like, and grow in a tight rosette, giving the plant a distinctive and architectural appearance. This species is native to Mexico and is admired for its elegant form and texture, making it a popular choice for succulent gardens, rockeries, and container displays.

Unlike some agaves, it does not produce a large flowering stalk until many years of maturity, focusing attention on its sculptural foliage.

Main Characteristics:

• Tight rosette of thin, dark green, linear leaves

• Prominent white marginal spines along leaf edges

• Leaves can grow up to 40–50 cm long

• Slow-growing and compact, typically reaching about 60 cm in height and width

• Rarely flowers in cultivation; when it does, it produces a tall flower spike

Care Instructions:

• Light: Prefers full sun to partial shade; bright light encourages healthy growth and leaf color

• Water: Water sparingly; allow soil to dry out completely between watering to prevent root rot

• Soil: Requires well-draining, gritty or sandy soil, such as cactus or succulent mix

• Temperature: Prefers warm climates; protect from frost and temperatures below 5°C

• Maintenance: Minimal; remove any damaged or dead leaves to maintain appearance

• Propagation: Typically propagated by offsets or seed, though offsets are slow to develop
