Discover the Octopus Agave (Agave vilmoriniana), a unique plant with tentacle-like, twisting leaves. This drought-tolerant beauty thrives in full sun or light shade, perfect for low desert regions.

Ideal in full sun or light shade, place it near south, west, or east-facing windows. Water when top 2 inches of soil are dry, avoiding overwatering to prevent root rot.
