Product number : 5AGGEKK35
DescriptionSpecifications

Origin
The Agave geminiflora, also known as Twin-Flowered Agave, is originally from Mexico. This plant species specifically finds its origin in the mountains of the Mexican region of Nayarit and is part of the Asparagaceae family. In the wild, the Agave geminiflora primarily grows on the rocky slopes of these mountain areas.

Characteristics
The Agave geminiflora is an evergreen, perennial plant that is known for its cylindrical leaves, which grow in a spiral row. These pointed leaves have a dark green colour and can grow up to a meter long. A characteristic feature of the Agave geminiflora is the production of numerous bell-shaped, yellow flowers that come from an upright, stem-like inflorescence which can grow up to 4 metres high. These leaves are surrounded by fibrous filaments that run along the leaf edge.

Care
In the care of the Agave geminiflora, one should consider its preference for warmer climates and full sunlight. The plant thrives well in well-draining soil like sand or gravel. Overwatering should be avoided as it can lead to root rot. Alternatively, the plant is tolerant to drought, fitting with its origin in mountain and desert areas. Furthermore, temperatures below freezing can be damaging to the plant, so protection against frost is necessary in colder climates.
