Agave victoriae-reginae (100 seeds)

Agave victoriae-reginae (100 seeds)

It is a very long lived, exceptionally slow-growing succulent with short, triangular leaves that are about 22 cm long and arranged in a dense, symmetrical rosette. The leaves are hard and leathery with dark, thorny tips and interesting white marks.

Sowing instructions: Use a gritty mix of peat, coco-fiber, vermiculite and perlite, sand or similar media. Fill shallowly in trays or pots and sow the seeds on the surface. Cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil, about as thick as the seeds are. Label with species name and date. Do not cover with plastic or glass. Place trays or pots at temperatures between 25 and 30°C (75 to 90°F) in a brightly lit spot but out of full sun and keep slightly damp but never wet. Seeds will sprout reliably after a few days or weeks.
