Care Tips

Light

• Full sun is best, but Furcraea will do fine in light shade as well
• A south-facing exposure or unobstructed east- or west-facing window good for it 

 

Water

• Drought resistant due to their large root system: watering them infrequently (though more so during their bloom in summer and spring) will be fine
• Be careful not to overwater
• As with most succulents, standing water can be lethal

 

Soil

• Well-draining succulent mix is crucial
• This plant should never be in water-logged soil or allowed to stand in a tray with water
• The pH should be slightly acidic

 

Fertilizer

• Either a controlled-release fertilizer at the beginning of the season or weekly fertilization with a weak liquid solution is fine
• Needs a 20-20-20 fertilizer at 1/4 strength, while younger ones need one with less nitrogen

 

Repotting and Propagation 

• When repotting, make sure the soil is dry first, then remove the plant gently from its pot
• Knock away old soil and any dead roots before repotting the plant and filling it with potting soil, making sure to keep its roots widely spread
• After repotting, give it about a week before watering again, to avoid rotting its roots
• It propagates from bulbs that appear at the base of the mother plant
• These small bulbs can be collected and replanted in fresh containers
• Make sure, though, to keep them well-drained in their infancy and provide bright light
