Origin
The Agave potatorum gold, also known as the golden buttercup Agave, originates from the dry and semi-desert areas of Mexico. This plant is characteristic for regions with a dry, rocky landscape, where they have been able to adapt to the extreme climate over many centuries.

Characteristics
The Agave potatorum gold is a succulent, known for its striking, golden leaves. These leaves are thick, fleshy and coated with a layer of wax to minimise water loss. The plant develops into a compact rosette with a diameter of 60 to 90 cm. At the end of its lifespan, the plant produces a massive flower stem, but this rarely happens in a garden setting.

Care
The Agave potatorum gold requires minimal care, contributing to its popularity as a garden plant. It has a strong preference for well-draining soil in order to prevent root rot. Although it can tolerate some drought, it flourishes best with regular watering, especially during the growth period. It is important to protect the plant from harsh winter conditions, as it is not hardy. In general, they also need full sun to maintain their characteristic golden colour.
