Description: THIS AGAVE CAN BE GROWN INDOORS IN A SUNNY, WELL LIGHTED WINDOW. ALTERNATIVELY, IT IS MORE COMMONLY GROWN OUTDOORS WHERE IT MAKES AN EXCELLENT LANDSCAPE, ROCK GARDEN OR POTTED PLANT ARRANGEMENT THAT DOES BEST IN TERRA-COTTA PLANTER POTS. PLANTING DESMETTIANA ALONG COASTAL AREAS NEAR OCEANS ARE FINE BECAUSE THIS SUCCULENT IS SALT TOLERANT. SOIL SHOULD BE WELL DRAINING WITH AN ACID TO NEUTRAL PH ALTHOUGH DESMETTIANA IS VERY ADAPTABLE TO ALKALINE SOIL CONDITIONS AS SEEN IN FLORIDA. FULL SUN IS PREFERRED BUT THIS AGAVE WILL LOOK EXCELLENT IN FILTERED LIGHT OR PART SHADED CONDITIONS WHICH HELP TO PREVENT LEAF BURN IF YOUR SUNLIGHT IS INTENSE. REGULAR IRRIGATION IS NOT NECESSARY BUT WILL NOT HURT DESMETTIANA IF THE SOIL IS WELL DRAINING AND WATER DOES NOT POOL AROUND THE ROOT SYSTEM. MOST AGAVES DO NOT LIKE "WET FEET" WHICH CAN RESULT IN ROOT ROT. FERTILIZER IS UNNECESSARY WHICH MAKES THIS AN EXCELLENT LOW MAINTENANCE ATTRACTIVE GARDEN PLANT.
