    •   Mangave 'Aztec King' is a succulent hybrid bred from Manfreda and Agave species native to Mexico. This compact rosette combines the architectural drama of an agave with a size suited to indoor growing.

        The plant forms a wide-spreading rosette with lance-shaped leaves arranged in dense clusters. Foliage is forest green with cream-white variegation along the leaf margins and centers, creating a bold two-tone geometric pattern. Leaves point upward at the tips and reach moderate size on a mature specimen.

        'Aztec King' produces tall flower spikes from the rosette center in summer once it reaches maturity. Blooms are tubular and typically cream or pale yellow in color.

        Position it in direct sun or bright indirect light for strongest growth and deepest color, though it tolerates low-light corners. The plant handles heated indoor air and stays firm when kept dry between waterings. Keep it away from direct air conditioning or heating vents, as cold drafts cause damage. Never let water pool on the leaves or in the rosette center, as pooling moisture causes rot. The foliage and sap cause skin and paw irritation, and 'Aztec King' is dangerous if ingested by pets. Its wide-spreading form suits tabletops, plant stands, or open shelving in homes and offices.

    •   Mangave 'Aztec King' grows well in direct sun or bright indirect light but tolerates low-light indoor corners.

        Water it when soil is completely dry, typically every 10-14 days during spring and summer, less often in winter.

        'Aztec King' does best in well-draining succulent or cactus mix with added perlite for drainage.

        It prefers temperatures between 50°F and 85°F and handles heated indoor air without harm.

        'Aztec King' grows at a moderate pace as a wide-spreading rosette; fertilize once in spring with diluted succulent fertilizer.

        It is hardy in USDA zones 9-11 and freezes below 20°F. It grows outdoors year-round in southern California, Arizona, southern Florida, and Hawaii where frost does not occur.

  • Provide porous soil with adequate drainage, pots with drainage hole are recommended. Bright, filtered light and ample airflow. Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Never let your succulents sit in water. Do NOT water on the leaves. If you water from beneath by letting the plant sit in a saucer of water, make sure to pour off any excess water after a few minutes. The hotter it is outside, the faster your soil will dry out, so you’ll need to water more often if you live in a hot area. Water with caution in winter, as the plant can lose its roots if the soil stays cold and wet for extended periods; protect from frost to prevent scarring.
