How often should simple desert agave be watered?
Simple desert agave prefers a dry environment. Ensure that potting soil is acceptably wet when watering by letting the water flow out of the bottom of the pot. Signs of dehydration include leaves going from plump to soft or even appearing to shrink. Soil dries relatively quickly in a well-ventilated environment with enough sunlight, so the watering interval can be shortened if needed.
In summer, simple desert agave's growing season, watering amount and frequency can be slightly increased. Once fall begins, reduce watering as the plant's growth rate slows down. It is better to keep the potting soil dry at this time. If the temperature falls to 10 ℃ in winter, it will enter dormancy. If this happens, stop watering and be sure to keep it warm to ensure it survives winter. Start watering again when the temperature rises above 20 ℃ in spring.
