How do you grow foxtail agave?
Foxtail agave has a high germination rate through sowing, which is usually carried out in spring. The optimum temperature for seed germination is no less than 15 ℃ at night and around 30 ℃ during the day. If the temperature falls below 10 ℃ at night and 20 ℃ during the day, the rate of seed germination will be greatly reduced. After sowing, you must cover the surface of the pot with plastic wrap to preserve the warmth and moisture within. After 7 - 10 days, seedlings will emerge.
Foxtail agave grows slowly, so there is no need for frequent repotting. Large particles such as ceramsite with a diameter of about 1 cm can be laid at the bottom of the pot to prevent water accumulation and root rot. Plant in pots with good permeability, such as earthenware. The size of the pot should be 2-3 times the size of the plant to ensure that there is enough space and soil fertility for foxtail agave to grow.
