Agave titanota is a highly sought-after, slow-growing succulent in the Asparagaceae family, native to the semi-arid regions of Oaxaca, Mexico. Known for its striking, architectural form, this species features broad, thick, blue-gray to silvery-green leaves with prominent, dramatic teeth along the margins and a distinct terminal spine. The leaves often form a tight rosette, making it a favorite among collectors and landscape designers. It thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, and is highly drought-tolerant once established. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Although hardy, Agave titanota should be protected from excessive cold and frost. With time, it may produce offsets around its base, and like all agaves, it flowers once at maturity—typically after many years—before dying back, leaving behind its offsets to continue the growth cycle.

Agave titanota is ’n baie gewilde, stadig-groeiende vetplant uit die Asparagaceae-familie en is inheems aan die semi-droë streke van Oaxaca, Meksiko. Hierdie spesie is bekend vir sy indrukwekkende, beeldhoukundige vorm en het breë, dik blare wat wissel van blougrys tot silwerig-groen, met opvallende, dramatiese tande langs die blaarrande en ’n kenmerkende eindsteek. Die blare vorm dikwels ’n digte roset, wat dit gewild maak onder versamelaars en landskapontwerpers. Dit groei die beste in volson en goed dreinerende grond, en is uiters droogtebestand sodra dit gevestig is. Water slegs wanneer die grond heeltemal droog is. Hoewel dit taai is, moet Agave titanota teen uiterste koue en ryp beskerm word. Met verloop van tyd kan dit uitlopers rondom die basis vorm, en soos alle agaves blom dit slegs een keer in sy leeftyd—gewoonlik ná baie jare—en sterf daarna af, maar laat ’n nuwe generasie agter deur die uitlopers.

Shipping Policy
**Shipping Policy for Plants**
At MantisPlants, we take great care in preparing and shipping your plants to ensure they arrive in the best possible condition.
Bare Root Shipping
All plants are typically shipped bare-rooted, meaning that the soil is carefully removed from the roots to prevent any damage during transit. We wash the roots to remove any remaining soil and allow them to dry before wrapping them gently in tissue paper. This process helps minimize stress on the plant and ensures its safe arrival to you.
Pot Shipping Option (Not Recommended)
While we do offer the option of shipping some plants in their pots, this is generally not advisable. Shipping a plant in its pot can result in root damage due to movement and stress during transit. The roots can become constricted or disturbed, which can harm the plant. If you are still interested in this option, it must be arranged in advance with the vendor, and we will take extra precautions to pack it as securely as possible. However, we highly recommend the bare-root shipping method to ensure the best possible outcome for your plant.
**Careful Packaging**
We take pride in our packing process to ensure your plant arrives safely. Every plant is carefully packed, with extra attention to detail to protect the roots and foliage. We take care to secure the plant during transit, and make sure it is cushioned and stabilized inside the shipping box to avoid damage.
Our goal is to make sure your plant reaches you healthy and ready to thrive! If you have any questions about the shipping process, feel free to reach out to us.
