How to fertilize Agave Deserti
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 Agave Deserti after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Ooo, a new leaf today, just in time for #FreshLeafFriday! Agave grow with their new leaves all packed together in the center spike, and it’s an exciting day when one of them peels off to join its siblings at the edge of the plant #Agave #NewGrowth #SucculentSquad
