Description: Agave Palmeri 'Ruby, Arizona' The agave pictured in photos 1-6 is the exact plant that you will receive. This agave for sale is currently approximately 13in. in an 8in. two-gallon container. Check out those spiral terminal spines! Ships bare root, no pot, no soil. My plants are meticulously cared for and you can see more of my agaves and dry garden on my IG page @mr_agave This highly sought after agave prefers full sun to partial shade. It's a slow to medium grower and is an easy agave to care for. It's located in Zone 9b and has been grown in a greenhouse under 40% shade cloth. Please note that you need to gradually acclimate your new agave to your growing conditions. Agaves prefer well-drained, coarse succulent soil. For example, I use a mix of 50% 1/4in. lava or pumice mixed with equal parts organics (potting soil) and DG (decomposed granite) or coarse sand. Watering frequency depends upon your regional weather, sun exposure, soil and drainage. Do not over-water, especially in-ground. When it's time to water, water in the evening and especially after an extended period of extremely high temps, 95+ degrees. In-ground agaves require little to no water in the winter months when they're mostly dormant. Over-watering will rot the plant. Do not plant mid-summer when temps are too high. I typically plant in-ground in the fall and spring months. This agave is a medium size succulent. It will produce dozens of offsets/pups over its lifespan. NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING. CONUS shipping only via USPS Ground Advantage. I'm a small business owner and agaves are a hobby of mine so with that, I'm unable to accept returns. Open package immediately upon arrival. When I receive a new agave, I like to let the roots soak in a bowl of water for 1-2 days ensuring the leaves are above the water line. Please note that agaves have very soft leaves and breakage during shipping is very common. Agaves will quickly recover and grow new leaves so long as you properly care for your new plant. For reference, my favorite Agave books are, Agaves: Species, Cultivars & Hybrids by Jermey Spath of Hidden Agave & Jeff Moore. Also, Agaves: Living Sculptures for Landscapes and Containers by Greg Starr.
