Water: Originating from arid environments, agave 'Snow Glow' is drought-tolerant, storing water efficiently and requiring infrequent watering, about once every three weeks. It thrives outdoors, adapting well to natural rain and temperature fluctuations, making it ideal for xeriscaping in dry climates.

Fertilize: Fertilize agave 'Snow Glow' monthly during the growing season (spring to summer) using a 3:3:2 nitrogen, phosphate, and potassium ratio. Utilize low-concentration liquid or compound fertilizers; avoid high concentrations. Fertilization is unnecessary in late fall and early winter as growth slows and dormancy may occur.

Pruning: To maintain agave 'Snow Glow''s appearance, promptly remove old, yellowing leaves. Regularly trim any leaves infected with pests or diseases to protect healthy foliage and ensure optimal growth.

Propagation: The primary propagation method for agave 'Snow Glow' is division, typically during the growing season. Removed shoots can be directly potted if rooted; otherwise, they must dry for 5 days. Alternatively, agave 'Snow Glow' can be propagated from seeds, which require cross-pollination and take about 10 days to germinate.
