Spider agave is a slow-growing succulent forming rosettes approximately 1 foot (30 cm) tall and 18 inches (45 cm) wide. The plant features around 20 spineless, pale green leaves that stand upright in the center and curve elegantly backward. Its distinguishing characteristic is a 3 to 5 foot (90 to 150 cm) tall flowering spike bearing a dense cluster of white blossoms. Post-bloom, the central rosette gradually perishes, while offsets continue the lineage. It thrives best with periodic watering, and exhibits frost tolerance down to 10°F (-12°C).
