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
