Agave lophantha 'Splendida'

Splendida Agave: Bold Green Blades with a Bright Center Stripe

Add a crisp, architectural rosette with Agave lophantha 'Splendida'. Dark green leaves carry a lighter central stripe, with strong marginal teeth giving the plant a striking, graphic outline.

• 💚 Light central stripes contrast with dark green blades
• 🌿 Pointed rosette form creates a bold focal point
• 🌱 Offsetting growth can build a colony with age
• ⚠️ Sharp teeth and tips call for a low-contact display spot

Choose a stable container away from paths and busy edges so the striped rosette can be enjoyed safely.

Care Tips

Light: Provide sun or light shade, acclimating gradually to stronger exposure.

Water: Let the mix dry between thorough waterings and drain fully. Keep much drier during cool, slow growth.

Soil: Use a sharply draining, gritty mix.

Potting: Choose a pot with drainage holes and repot when the roots need more room.

Humidity: Provide good airflow and avoid persistently damp foliage.

Temperature: Shelter container roots from severe freezing and prolonged wet cold.

Handling: Wear protective gloves and avoid contact with sharp leaf teeth and tips.

Care Instructions

Please visit our Succulent Care info page for more details.

To ensure the health of succulents, it is important to plant them in porous, well-draining soil. Succulents require little watering, but don't like to sit in wet soil. To create an adequate cactus mix, simply add pumice, perlite, or grit to cactus soil to provide the proper drainage.

Allow the soil to dry to the level recommended in the Care Tips above before watering again. Always drain excess water.

Weather Conditions

• When ordering, be mindful that living succulents can freeze. If you live in an area that is below 40°F, please consider purchasing plant until the weather is more suitable.
