Agave victoriae-reginae 'White Rhino

449.99 $

Agave 'White Rhino' is a cultivated variety of Agave that attracts particular attention for its spectacular foliage. As its name suggests, 'White Rhino' has thick, stiff, broad leaves, often edged or marked with white or cream, contrasting sharply with the darker green of the rest of the leaf. This variegation recalls the robustness and color associated with the white rhinoceros, hence the variety's name.

Origin: Although the specific origin of 'White Rhino' is not clearly documented here, agaves in general are native to arid and semi-arid regions of the New World, from the southern USA to Central and South America. The 'White Rhino' variety was probably developed by horticulturists for its particular beauty and resilience.
Growth: Agave 'White Rhino' is slow to moderate growing and can become quite large, making it an excellent choice for rock gardens, xeric gardens, or as a potted specimen. In time, it can form an impressive, eye-catching rosette in any landscape or interior arrangement.
Flowers: Like most agaves, 'White Rhino' will bloom once mature, producing a tall floral scape with numerous flowers. This spectacular bloom usually marks the end of the plant's life cycle, which dies after flowering, but it often leaves behind shoots that can be replanted.
Light: Prefers full sun for optimum growth, but can tolerate partial light. Sufficient light is necessary to maintain variegation and overall plant health.
Watering: Agave 'White Rhino' requires little watering, in keeping with its needs as a succulent plant. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings and avoid excessive humidity.
Substrate: Well-draining soil is essential. Use a cactus and succulent mix, with a good proportion of sand or gravel to ensure adequate drainage.
Toxicity: Like other agaves, 'White Rhino' can have sharp leaf edges and a sharp point. In addition, the sap can be irritating to the skin and eyes. Handle with care and keep out of reach of children and pets.
