@MimiGreenthumb in general, agaves need at least 6 hours minimum per day, to survive, if not 8-12 hours. Just think of where they come from natively, ☺️ southern United States, Mexico and Central America, where there is ample sun, and typically very dry conditions ☀️🌵🏜️
Okay, I am really new at gardening but am so amazed at how a plant that a year ago I would have thrown away can be rejuvenated with some TLC! I’m learning and when I first got this unusual plant I wasn’t sure how to care for it. I knew it was looking unhappy but it is super hard to tell with this Agave! Unfortunately, I let it get extremely damaged roots. When I dug it up, it had no roots that were not dry and crumbly. I figured I would at least try to rehydrate her so I used clean scissors and cut and scraped until I found something that appeared white and fresh. Then I submerged the base of the plant in water and said some words of motivation!! After only three days, I see signs of life again, look at the roots starting to come back and the leaves are changing to a darker hue. Fingers crossed we can come back from this and I will do better in the future! #Agave #HappyPlants
