The right care for the hundred-year-old agave: Since the tequila and agave syrup source can withstand temperatures below freezing point, it looks particularly beautiful in rock gardens. If you plant them in a flower bed, you always have to take into account that they will grow very large and take up a space of 3 meters. But the agave also conjures up an exotic flair in a pot on the terrace. It is very easy to care for and hardly needs any attention.
