Agave potatorum 'Ouhi-raijin Variegata' features rosettes of thick, fleshy leaves that are blue-green with creamy yellow to white variegation along the margins. The leaves are broad at the base and taper to a sharp point, often adorned with a spiny tip and edges, which add to its dramatic appearance. The variegation pattern enhances its sculptural qualities, making it a striking addition to any collection.
This agave thrives in full sun to partial shade. It prefers bright, direct sunlight for several hours a day to maintain its vivid coloration and compact form. If grown indoors, a south-facing window where it can receive ample sunlight is ideal.
Agave potatorum 'Ouhi-raijin Variegata' is drought-tolerant, requiring minimal watering. Water only when the soil has completely dried out. In the growing season, this might mean watering every two to three weeks; in winter, reduce watering to once a month or less, depending on indoor heating conditions.
Use a well-draining soil mix specifically designed for cacti and succulents. A mix containing coarse sand, perlite, and a small amount of organic material works well to prevent water retention and promote healthy root growth.
This plant prefers warm temperatures and does not tolerate frost. It should be kept in temperatures above 7 degrees Celsius. While it can withstand high summer temperatures, it should be protected from extreme heat. Humidity levels are generally not a concern for this agave as it is adapted to dry conditions.
Fertilise sparingly, if at all. You can apply a balanced, slow-release fertiliser once at the beginning of the growing season, but avoid over-fertilising, as this can promote weak growth and make the plant more susceptible to disease.
Pruning is not necessary for this agave, except to remove any dead or damaged leaves to maintain its appearance and health.
Agave potatorum 'Ouhi-raijin Variegata' is relatively pest-resistant. However, it can be susceptible to agave snout weevil, particularly if grown in the ground. Regular inspections and prompt removal of any infested plants are important. Root rot can be a concern if overwatered or if the soil does not drain adequately.
Agave potatorum 'Ouhi-raijin Variegata' is an excellent choice for those looking for a low-maintenance yet visually striking plant. Its unique form and coloration make it a focal point in any garden or as a potted plant indoors. With proper care focused on minimal watering, adequate sunlight, and protection from extreme temperatures, it can thrive and bring aesthetic pleasure for many years.
