Agave Pumila (Miniature Agave) 130mm

Agave pumila, commonly known as the Miniature Agave, is a compact, slow-growing succulent that’s perfect for collectors and small-space gardens. This dwarf agave forms a tight rosette of thick, blue-green to silvery leaves with prominent white markings and finely toothed edges. Despite its small size, it boasts a bold architectural look, making it a striking addition to rock gardens, containers, or succulent displays.

Main Characteristics:

• Miniature agave with a tight, symmetrical rosette

• Blue-green to silvery foliage with white impressions

• Thick, leathery leaves with small marginal teeth

• Extremely slow-growing and long-lived

• Ideal for pots, troughs, and compact gardens

Care Tips:

• Light: Prefers full sun to partial shade. Needs bright light to maintain form and colour.

• Water: Drought-tolerant. Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings.

• Soil: Requires very well-draining soil, such as cactus or sandy mix.

• Temperature: Hardy to light frost but best protected from extreme cold.

• Fertiliser: Minimal feeding; use a diluted succulent fertiliser in spring if needed.

• Growth Habit: Very slow-growing; can remain in the same pot for years.

Agave pumila is an excellent choice for collectors looking for a sculptural, easy-care plant that stays small and stylish. Its tidy form and hardiness make it a standout in miniature landscapes or modern succulent arrangements.

The first photo serves a display purpose only. The succulent plant housed in the red pot comes in a 130mm diameter container. While the image provides a representative depiction of what you will receive, but may vary slightly because no two succulents are the same.
