Questa varietà di agave, dedicata alla Regina Vittoria d’Inghilterra, è fra le più diffuse del genere. l' Agave victoria reginae caratterizzata da un portamento compatto e rigido, con le sue forme particolari ed accattivanti e dalla lenta crescita si è subito distinta e diffusa come pianta ideale per la coltivazione in vaso. Le foglie lisce sono di forma triangolare con venature bianche e totale assenza di spine lungo i bordi, solo l' apice di colore nero è appuntito. La fioritura avviene solo quando la pianta raggiunge la completa maturazione generando un fusto lungo dal quale nascono fiori bianchi a corolla. Necessita di un corretto apporto idrico con regolare cadenza durante il periodo primaverile/estivo avendo cura di evitare ristagni idrici e di attendere la completa asciugatura del panetto di terra prima di ogni irrigazione. Durante il periodo invernale è consigliabile diminuire drasticamente l' irrigazione fino alla completa sospensione se coltivata in ambienti freddi rispettando le sue minime.

PICTURES ARE REPRESENTATIONS OF ACTUAL ITEMS RECEIVED. Agave victoriae-reginae, the Queen Victoria agave or royal agave, is a small species of succulent flowering perennial plant, noted for its streaks of white on sculptured geometrical leaves, and popular as an ornamental. This agave is highly variable in form, but in general the rosettes are small and compact, growing to 0.5m, composed of short, rigid, thick leaves that are green with a pattern of distinctive white markings. The markings are generally along leaf keels or margins, giving a sort of polyhedral appearance. Marginal teeth are usually lacking, while the terminus of the leaf may include 1 to 3 spines, each 1.5–3 cm in length. Cream coloured flowers are borne in erect racemes up to 4m in length. A. victoriae-reginae is found the Chihuahuan Desert in the Mexican States of Coahuila, Durango and Nuevo León, with about a half-dozen subspecies named. The situation is complicated by hybrids with a number of other agave species. It is cold-hardy as agaves go, and thus finds favor as a small accent in many northerly gardens. However, it is recommended in the UK that this plant be kept in heated conditions under glass during winter. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. ~ Bare Root Plant *Not responsible for lost or damaged packages due to shipping companies handling.

The shapely, very beautiful Agave ferdinandi-regis (a.k.a King agave) is closely allied to the other 'royal' agave, namely the beautiful Agave victoria-reginae and often confused with it, but instead of silver colored margins has dark reddish brown edges. This small slow-growing agave is also known as Agave victoriae-reginae var. laxior or Agave victoriae-regina var. nickelsii, it is now considered by some authors (lumpers) only a variant of Agave victoria-reginae and fully synonymized with it, but these two plants looks quite distinct, there does not appear to be any 'transition' forms in nature, which one would expect to see if these two were really the same. Also this plant grows to nearly twice the size of the other. Cultivation and Propagation: It requires well-drained soil and light shade to full sun exposure, but they prefer some afternoon shade during the hottest summer month to avoid being fried by sun. It should be kept rather dry in winter or dormant season with minimum temperatures above zero in order to obtain good results,but it will tolerate quite low temperatures ( -10° C), particularly when dry. To give this marvellous plant vigour and life, water well during spring and summer and let it become barely moist between waterings. Fertilizer: Feed only twice a year, once in April and once in July with a water-soluble potassium-rich fertilizer. Along the coast or in areas where there are no frosts, these plants may be cultivated with success outdoors where their beauty is better observed. In cold climates it is adviseable to cultivate these plants in pots in order to protect them during the winter in dry, fresh rooms. Plant Pests: Prone to mealy bugs and scale. Always inspect any new plant for pests before introducing it to your home or greenhouse. Requires good ventilation and avoid over-watering. Propagation: It reproduces thanks to the seeds or by the suckers produced at the base of the stems in the spring. Propagate them in evenly moist soil, mist occasionally and keep in filtered sunlight until they are growing. Plant will be shipped bare root.

They are often found in hot, arid climates such as the desert and have adapted to tolerate long periods of drought. There are many varieties of succulents and cacti that come from all over the world. For best results each plant has individual needs, but there are general rules for succulent and cactus plant care. Water - If your container has drainage holes, water thoroughly when dry during the active growth period. If your container does not have drainage holes, water sparingly to moisten soil but be sure water does not pool up at the bottom of container which can cause rotting. Allow soil to dry between watering. In the winter, assuming typical house temperatures, watering is reduced to once a month to a light misting. Essentially, you only want to maintain the roots. The pot should not be wet. In the case of leafy succulents, do not water at all until you see active growth in the spring. Light - Place plant in a brightly lit south facing window indoors or an area with bright, indirect light outdoors. Some plants can tolerate full sun but must be gradually acclimated to prevent sunburn. If the light source is inadequate, etiolation will occur, and your plant will become leggy as it stretches out towards a light source. Soil - Succulents and cacti like soil that is well aerated and fast draining. Perlite or pumice mixed with soil work well for this, or you can pick up cactus/succulent mix from your local nursery.

Introducing the Queen Victoria agave, known as Agave victoriae-reginae, which is a stunning accent plant that belongs to the Agave genus. This regal agave is commonly referred to as the Royal Agave, or Queen Victoria Century Plant, paying homage to its elegant and regal presence in rock gardens and landscapes. Native to northeastern Mexico, specifically in the high-altitude regions of the Chihuahuan Desert. It thrives in arid environments with well-draining soil, showcasing its adaptability to harsh conditions. The compact and slow-growing Queen Victoria agave forms a rosette of striking, spineless dark green leaves with white markings, making it a visually appealing addition to gardens or indoor spaces.These hand-painted white markings on each leaf, resembling intricate patterns, add to the plant's visual appeal and make it a standout addition to any collection.When fully mature, this cold hardy succulent typically reaches a size of about 1 foot tall and 2 feet wide, making it a relatively compact succulent suitable for containers or garden beds. When it comes to flowering, the Queen Victoria agave produces tall flower stalks adorned with clusters of creamy-white flowers. These Queen Victoria agave blooms add a touch of elegance to the plant and attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. The Queen Victoria agave is a slow-growing succulent. After blooming, the rosette will die after producing offsets or "pups" that can be replanted to continue the plant's legacy. Propagation of the Queen Victoria agave is commonly done through offsets, also known as pups, that develop around the base of the mature plant. These offsets can be carefully removed and replanted to grow new Queen Victoria agave plants, allowing for easy propagation and expansion of your succulent collection. Watering Needs Native to Mexico's Chihuahuan desert, the Queen Victoria agave is a drought-tolerant succulent. Due to its desert origins, this agave is adapted to thrive in arid conditions and prefers infrequent watering. To meet the watering needs of the Queen Victoria agave, it's crucial to allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can cause root rot and other problems, so it's better to underwater rather than overwater. In the spring and summer, during the growing season, water the Queen Victoria agave sparingly, making sure that the soil is dry before watering again. In contrast, reduce watering during the dormant period in fall and winter to mimic the plant's natural cycle. For plants to survive in rainy climates, they need a planting site that is slightly sloped and has good winter drainage. By understanding and following the watering needs of the Agave victoriae reginae, you can help promote its overall health and ensure that it thrives in your garden or indoor space. Light Requirements When growing indoors, the Queen Victoria agave prefers bright, indirect light. Place it near a south or west-facing window where it can receive ample sunlight without being exposed to direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves. If you're growing the Agave victoriae reginae outdoors, it thrives in full sun to partial shade. In outdoor settings, ensure that the plant receives at least 6 hours of sunlight per day to promote healthy growth and vibrant leaf color. To ensure a smooth transition from indoor to outdoor or vice versa, the Queen Victoria agave should be gradually acclimatized in light shade before being exposed to full sun. Start by introducing the plant to its new environment for short periods, gradually increasing the exposure to light over time. Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs For soil, the Queen Victoria agave thrives in well-draining soil to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. Planting them in ordinary soil will result in compacted roots, stunted growth, and most likely root rot. Instead, make or buy a well-draining potting mix, or ideally use our specialized succulent potting mix that contains 5 natural substrates and mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your Agave succulent to thrive. When it comes to fertilizing the Queen Victoria agave, it's best to use a balanced (5-10-5), water-soluble NPK fertilizer diluted to half strength. During the growing season in spring, fertilize the plant once a year to provide it with essential nutrients for healthy growth. Avoid overfertilizing the Agave victoriae reginae, as this can lead to nutrient imbalances and potential damage to the plant. Always follow the instructions on the fertilizer package and monitor the plant's response to ensure you're providing the right amount of nutrients. Hardiness Zone & More When growing indoors, the Queen Victoria agave is typically grown in containers. Maintaining indoor temperatures between 55-76°F is ideal for the plant's growth and health. For outdoor cultivation, your Agave victoriae reginae thrives in hardiness zones 7-11, which are characterized by mild winters and warm summers. It can tolerate temperatures down to 10 °F, but if you're in a region with colder winter months, it's best to bring the plant indoors during the colder months to protect it from frost and freezing temperatures. In terms of humidity, the Queen Victoria agave is well-suited to average indoor humidity levels. It can tolerate lower humidity levels typical of indoor environments, making it a low-maintenance plant in terms of humidity requirements. Final Thoughts Overall, the Queen Victoria agave is a striking succulent known for its compact rosette form, dark green leaves with white markings having a small terminal spine, and elegant appearance. This regal plant, native to northeastern Mexico, thrives in arid environments and is a favorite among succulent enthusiasts. To care for your Queen Victoria agave, ensure well-draining soil, and ample sunlight, and avoid overwatering to prevent root rot. With its unique features and low-maintenance care requirements, the Queen Victoria agave is a beautiful addition to any indoor or outdoor garden space.
