Agave geminiflora (twin flower agave) is a single-stemmed dwarf agave that forms a dense, symmetrical rosette with narrow, sharp tipped, dark green leaves. The leaves can grow to 60 cm in length and unlike the other agaves are not armed with thorns around their edges. Instead each leaf looks as if it is exuding tangled white threads.
Location: full sun to light shade. Very suitable as low-maintenance container plants. Soil: sandy, well-drained soil or a commercial potting-soil blend suitable for succulents. Water: only water if the soil is completely dry, and even then you can wait a day or two. Too much water can cause root rot or cause the leaves to become pale and flop.
