Plant/Product Description:
The Agave victoriae-reginae, commonly known as Queen Victoria Agave, is a regal and compact succulent celebrated for its symmetrical rosette of thick, dark green leaves adorned with striking white markings.

Its manageable size and geometric precision make it a favorite for collectors and a standout addition to any plant display.

Plant Care Notes:

• Sunlight: Thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade. Bright light enhances its bold white markings and compact growth.
• Water: Water thoroughly when the soil is dry. Reduce watering during cooler months, as this agave is highly drought-tolerant.
• Soil: Requires a well-draining cactus or succulent mix with added perlite or pumice for improved aeration and drainage.
• Propagation: Propagate through offsets (pups) or seeds. Pups form sparingly and should be carefully removed and replanted in well-draining soil.
• Pests: Generally pest-resistant but may occasionally attract scale insects or mealybugs. Routine inspections keep the plant healthy.

Toxicity:
Queen Victoria Agave is mildly toxic to humans and pets if ingested, and its spines may cause irritation. Handle with care and keep out of reach of children and animals.
