How to fertilize Mangave
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Mangave after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Yellow Spots I dont know what’s happening. Almost all the leafs it came with have died due to yellowing and rotting. I make sure to water it on time and wait for the soil to be dried before each watering. Can someone tell me if im doing something wrong? Also the leaves are long for some reason

Agave bad hair day I have this beautiful large agave bad hair day. I’m not sure if the blooms are crazy cool or crazy creepy. 😂 but my question is will it die now that it bloomed? Greg said I was the only person that had one but hoping someone can help with the questions. I’m 5’2” and it’s as tall as me. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PlantTherapy

My Snow Leopard is wilting at the tips, how do I fix this? #Mangave I have it stored in a plastic, 10 inch drainage pot with peat moss mixed into the dirt, and it is 1.5 inches away from a window. It is currently snowing, so it is stored indoors.

I’m not sure if my mangave is over watered or under watered? I started out watering it about once a week because it’s outside in direct arizona sunlight (been about 90’s for the past few weeks during the day). Then it looked like it was maybe over watered so I went down to every 2-3 weeks. Not sure if that was the right adjustment, because I noticed the tip of one of the leaves started becoming “crunchy” and now it’s all shriveled. I’m not sure what to do….am I watering it too much? Not enough? Is it beyond repair? 😬 #NewPlantMom #SucculentLove
