The Agave lophantha has beautiful, broad leaves, which grow as a coronet from the plant’s centre. The leaves in the middle grow upwards while the leaves on the outside spread out horizontally. The leaves have serrated edges and initially grow wider in the middle but subsequently end in a tip. This plant is native to the mountain forests of Mexico. Taking care of the Agave lophantha is simple. Araflora will gladly explain how in the plant care section of this species.

The Agave lophantha needs a spot in the light or half shadow. Direct sunlight does not do this plant any good, since it can be damaged by too much light and too high temperatures.The soil must always be moist, but should be easy to drain. During the winter months less water is needed and the soil may be kept somewhat drier. The temperature should always be above 8°Celsius [F46.4] . Occasionally spraying some water leads to a higher humidity thus stimulating the plant’s growth. The soil should be permeable. Araflora produces good results with a mix of peat , moss and coarse sand.
