Common questions about growing Mangave

1. What is the difference between Mangave and Agave?

Mangave and Agave are both succulent plants, but they have some key differences. Mangave is a hybrid plant between Agave and Manfreda. This gives Mangave a number of advantages over both of its parent plants. Mangave is generally faster growing than Agave, and it is more tolerant of cold and shade. Mangave also has a wider range of colors and patterns than Agave.

Agave is a larger and more robust plant than Mangave. Agave plants are also more drought tolerant than Mangave. However, Agave plants can be slower growing and more susceptible to cold and shade damage.

2. Can Mangave be grown indoors?

Mangave can be grown indoors. However, it is important to provide them with the right conditions to thrive.

• They need bright, indirect light.
• They are drought-tolerant, so it is important to let the soil dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is the most common cause of Mangave death.
• Mangave plants need well-draining soil. A cactus and succulent mix is ideal.

• Mangave plants do not need to be fertilised often. A light feed during spring and summer is sufficient.
