Description

If there’s one family that continually surprises, it’s the Mad about Mangave® family. Mangave Praying Hands surprises everyone with a completely different look than any other Mangave. Thanks to the unique growth habit of one of its parents, Agave ocahui, the dark green foliage grows up: you could almost mistake it for an elegant teardrop.

The varieties of Mad about Mangave® are fast growers. If they reach the desired size, water sparingly. Mangave loves a spot in full sun; this is where the colours and distinctive spots show best. Being a true sun worshipper, Praying Hands is the perfect addition to the exotic terrace. Its colourful and striking foliage makes it perfect as a specimen in a pot or container, but just as great for a mixed container with other succulents.

How to care for Mangave Praying Hands:
Praying Hands has a very compact habit and grows up to 25 cm high and wide. This super succulent is drought tolerant and can handle some neglect. You hardly have to worry about it! A unique, sturdy succulent that steals the show indoors and outdoors, and being a true sun worshipper, the perfect addition to the exotic terrace. Protect it from frost and wet feet, and you’ll be friends for life! Plant Mangave in well-drained soil. Hardy to -5 ºC.
