Agave kerchovei ‘Huajuapan Red’
- Description
- Light/Soil/Water
- Hardiness
-
Agave kerchovei ‘Huajuapan Red’ is a bold and colorful agave with sharp, triangular leaves. The centers of the leaves are rich green, while the tips fade into deep maroon-red, especially in strong sunlight. The edges are lined with small, pointed teeth, and each leaf ends in a firm central spine. Native to Mexico, this variety has a strong, sculptural presence. 
This agave grows slowly, especially during spring and summer, forming a tight rosette. Over time, it can produce offsets, or “pups,” around the base, which can be separated and replanted. Mature plants may eventually send up a tall flower stalk. Propagation is easy from the pups once they are large enough to remove. -
Full Sun. Gritty, well-draining soil is essential. Use a cactus and succulent mix with 70%-80% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite.
Water infrequently. Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings. Avoid letting water sit in the rosette to prevent rot.
