Agave Americana as a house plant
Agave americana is a succulent plant, native to Mexico. It is also known as Century plant because it was believed that agave flowers only once in a hundred years. Blue-grey leaves form a rosette, and outdoors they can reach up to 2 meters in diameter.Edges of the leaves are covered with dark brown spines. The lifespan of agave is up to 30 years, when it is in nature, potted agave can live up to 10 years, and they will never flower.
Succulent habitats
Succulent plants are found everywhere, from tropical regions to the arctic circle. They are, however, less common in the areas where frost occurs in winter months. The greatest number of succulents grows in subtropical and tropical zones. Although succulents can occur in dry habitats, in real deserts they are rare. Only the toughest species can grow there, and then only in the hollows or rock crevices, where they can find some moisture. Fog or dew can be a source of water for these plants which have become adapted to it, but the true desert is too arid for any plant life.
