Growing Parry's Agave

• Plant Parry's Agave in a location with full sun exposure, ensuring it receives at least 6 hours of sunlight daily for optimal growth and development.
• Water the plant sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between watering sessions to prevent overwatering and root rot, as it is drought-tolerant once established.
• Use well-draining soil, such as sandy or rocky soil, to prevent water-logging and promote healthy root growth.
• Parry's Agave is hardy in USDA zones 9-11 and thrives in warm, arid climates, making it suitable for desert landscaping.
