Agave filifera, the thread agave, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asparagaceae, native to Central Mexico from Querétaro to Mexico State. It is a small or medium-sized succulent plant that forms stemless rosette up to 3 feet (90 cm) across and up to 2 feet (60 cm) tall.
Mature agave plants are very drought tolerant. You generally only need to water them if you've had a long stretch without rainfall and the soil is completely dry. However, when you are first establishing a plant, water it every four or five days for the first month
Feeding typically isn't necessary for agave plants. In fact, feeding encourages flowering, which you don’t want to happen too soon because most agave plants die after flowering.
It can withstand temperatures as low as 20° degrees Fahrenheit. They are also incredibly heat and drought tolerant and able to handle the punishing summer sun. They do well in full sun but also do quite well in lightly shaded settings.
Agave juice can cause serious contact dermatitis resulting in red, blistered skin that can be painful and itchy for a couple of weeks.

It is a small or medium-sized succulent plant that forms stemless rosette up to 3 feet (90 cm) across and up to 2 feet (60 cm) tall. The leaves are dark green to a bronzish-green in color and have very ornamental white bud imprints.
