Water deeply, once a week for about four weeks. If you get substantial rain, don’t water.Once the plant is established, water one or two times a month during the growing season, always taking natural rainfall into account.Don’t water in the wintertime. When watering, water the plant thoroughly and evenly, but do not overwater and leave the plant standing in water. Wait until the soil is completely dry before watering again.
Fertilize Agaves Very Sparingly or Not At All.You can give your blue agave a half dose of diluted liquid fertilizer specially formulated feed for succulents and cactus if you wish. This really is not necessary, though.
These plants prefer a rich, sandy soil; however, almost any quality well-draining potting mix is acceptable.
