Agave 'Ice Queen'

$19.99
Title

The plant forms a tight, sculptural rosette of thick, chunky, wedge-shaped leaves. Its foliage features an intensely pale, ghostly blue-white or silvery-grey cast caused by a heavy, protective epicuticular wax layer.

The leaf margins are armed with broad, dramatic, heavily serrated white-to-light-tan teeth. These teeth often merge into a striking, continuous horny border that beautifully frames each pale leaf. 

This is a compact agave. It generally matures to a size of 30 to 45 cm (12 to 18 inches) wide and tall, making it highly desirable for small pots and indoor shelving.

Common Pests

Mealybugs

Mealybugs

What To Look For: White, cottony or waxy masses on stems, leaf axils, underside of leaves. Sticky honeydew, sooty mold growth, yellowing or dropping leaves.

How To Treat: Use a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol to dab and remove visible bugs. Wash leaves and stems with gentle soapy water. In heavy infestations, consider removing very affected stems/leaves or, in the worst case, replacing the plant.

Scale Insects

Scale Insects

What To Look For: Small oval or round bumps on stems or leaves; they may look like part of the plant. Sticky residue/honeydew, sooty mold. Yellowing leaves, leaf drop, and decline in plant vigour.

How To Treat: Physically scrape or wipe off scale insects when you see them; use your fingernail or a soft brush. Use horticultural/plant-safe oils or insecticidal soap when the crawler stage is active. Re-inspect regularly because scale eggs and crawlers can hide under shells.
