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

my agave is looking brown and drooping in the middle. it's in succulent soil with a drainage hole in an outside porch and I'm watering it the recommended amount. should I just limit it's water intake? #Agave

Good Morning! #GregGang! Please stay away from this shop on #etsy . I can’t say it’s an #EtsyScamShops member but I can tell you that I never leave less than stellar reviews unless there’s a real issue. And this is a first! I have over 1k plants and most aren’t on the app. I ordered two large spiral aloes which they sent and right out of the boxes, there were broken leaves, they looked a bit overwatered, and had mushy leaves. I set them on a shelf and woke up to one leaking sap from the bottom. That same day, as the plants had arrived very dirty, I went to wipe the leaves off one and they started falling off. Next day, rot started taking over. When I contacted them, they said they didn’t know what happened and they would wait until other buyers would review the other aloes. One plant is unlike the other even if they look the same. One may have been overwatered more than the others. Logical concept, yes? No, it appears they cannot fathom the point. The picture they sent me was supposed to be of my aloe but that’s just a picture. The chance it was actually mine is questionable because I have pictures of what I received and they don’t look like the picture they sent which looks exactly like their listing image except for the date. They offered me one replacement that I could drive over to pick up once they move to Pflugerville from California (??) during my initial message to them. Well, now the other aloe is a goner as well. Clearly, they were overwatered and damaged before shipping and they are saying they don’t know what happened.I’ll let you all tell me what you think. I’ll add the link so you can see the videos in the reviews. And I will also attach images of what I saw last night and this morning. Save yourself the money and do not buy from them. There are no refunds and obviously they aren’t aware that I am very aware of caring for aloes, agaves, and succulents. I have not heard back from them since my message last night telling them the aloes were rotting. I spent $200 on plants I expected would be healthy but that’s not what I got. And rather than say, “We can send another one out to you right away!”, they want me to drive 1.5 hours once they move to Texas. Nope! I hate doing this because I find it tasteless however, I’d rather you know whom you cannot trust via their service.

More pictures from Duke Gardens, except these are for the #SucculentSquad ! 🌿👏🏻☀️ some GORGEOUS ice plants, the flowers looked so bright and almost metallic with the sun shining on the petals 🤩🌺 some cool #Sempervivum And then the BIGGEST #CenturyPlant I’ve ever seen!! It’s absolutely huge in person. I saw it last year, wasn’t sure if it was able to survive during winter, well apparently it’s hardy to this zone, or atleast this one is. I wonder how old that thing is?? 🤔🌵 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents #Succulent #IcePlant #Agave #OutdoorGrowing #OutsidePlants #PlantTherapy

Inherited a lions tail agave recently and these pics are from when I got it vs now - it’s declining pretty rapidly. I’m new to agave. Is this drastic change from the sun? Or rain? I received him as a cutting and potted him but haven’t touched him since. #Agave

Does anyone know what is the speciesism of this #Agave

I was wondering why it always has a sticky residue on some of the leaves? Thanks #Agave

How should I plant this maguey? The black part first or the green? #Agave

My lower shelf is becoming an agave area. Then there’s the other odd balls. Can you guys name these cacti and agaves species? Which one do you like the most? #HappyPlants #CactusClique #Cactus #Cacti #Agave

I was told this was a one a week (Sunday) plant and he doesn’t seem to be doing well. It was repotted at the store I purchased at. Thoughts? #Agave #ButterflyAgave
