If you are looking for a stunning and unique addition to your agave plant collection, then look no further than the blue agave century plant, also known as Agave tequilana.

It is famous for its role in the production of tequila, a beloved alcoholic beverage. This Agave tequilana blue agave plant is also known as Weber blue agave, tequila plant, agave tequila, or agave azul tequila.

The blue agave tequilana is not only a visually appealing agave plant but has also held cultural significance in Mexico for over 200 years. Its large, succulent leaves contain a sweet, sap-like juice.  Agave tequilana is an essential ingredient in the production of tequila, a distilled spirit made from the blue agave plant's sugars.


The heart of your Blue Agave plant, known as the piña, is harvested and processed to extract the sugars, which are then fermented and distilled to create tequila. 

It takes a maximum of 7–12 years for the Agave Tequilana to reach its mature height; one mature piña yields around 5 liters of tequila.

Similar Mexican beverages, mezcal, and pulque, are also produced using different extraction methods from the same plant.

The Agave tequilana, with its adorable thick, fleshy leaves in a striking blue-gray color forming a rosette, adds to its visual appeal.

These blue agave plants can grow up to 8 feet tall and spread up to 10 feet wide. The Agave tequilana have sharp, spiky edges on their leaves, so it's important to handle them with care.

The flowers of the Agave tequilana bloom in summer with pale green, red, or yellow flowers. This large and hardy blue agave is an extremely fast-growing tequila plant. This large and hardy blue agave is an extremely fast-growing tequila plant.

The easiest way to propagate your Agave tequilana is through small shoots. When you remove the offsets from the mother plant, ensure that the sprouts have some roots attached. Additionally, the fiber and pulp of the tequila plant are used to make soap and other products. 

Watering Needs 

When it comes to watering this drought-tolerant blue agave, it's important to strike the right balance. Water your Agave tequilana blue agave plant deeply once a week for about 4 weeks in the beginning.

Once established, water your blue agave two times a month and reduce it in winter, taking natural rainfall into account. It's important to note that the agave tequilana plant may naturally go dormant during this time, so don't be alarmed if it appears less active.

Remember, it's always better to underwater than overwater as in the Blue Agave. Observing the tequila plant's leaves can also provide clues about its watering needs.

If the leaves appear plump and firm, it indicates that the Agave tequilana is well hydrated. On the other hand, if the leaves start to appear wrinkled or shriveled, it may be a sign that your blue agave tequila needs a      drink.

Light Requirements

If you're growing the blue agave indoors, it's crucial to place it near a bright, sunny window where it can receive as much direct sunlight as possible. Supplemental grow lights can also be used to provide the necessary light requirements if natural sunlight is limited. Remember, tequila agave plants are sun-loving agave plants, so providing them with ample sunlight will help ensure their overall health and vibrant appearance.

When planted outdoors, the Blue Agave tequilana thrives in full sun exposure, making it an excellent choice for gardens or landscapes with plenty of sunlight. It requires at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight each day to ensure optimal growth and development. Placing your Agave tequilana in a location that receives ample sunlight will help the blue agave plant maintain its vibrant blue-gray color and overall health. 

In areas with extremely hot climates or intense sunlight, providing some afternoon shade can be beneficial to prevent sunburn or scorching of the leaves. However, it's important to strike a balance and not provide too much shade, as this can lead to leggy growth and a less compact appearance.

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs

To keep the Blue Agave happy and healthy, it's important to provide it with well-draining, rich, and sandy soils that mimic its natural habitat. A sandy or rocky soil mix works best, as it allows excess water to drain away quickly and prevents the agave plant's roots from sitting in soggy soil. We believe the best option is to use our specialty succulent potting mix that contains 5 natural substrates and organic mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your blue agave succulent thrive.

When it comes to fertilizing your blue agave, it's generally a low-maintenance agave plant that doesn't require frequent fertilization. In fact, excessive fertilization can lead to overgrowth and a weaker tequila agave. A slow-release, low-nitrogen fertilizer applied once a year in the spring can provide the necessary nutrients for healthy growth.

Remember, Agave tequila is adapted to nutrient-poor soils, so it doesn't have high fertilizer requirements. Providing it with well-draining soil and occasional, light fertilization will help ensure its optimal growth and overall health. 

Hardiness Zone & More 

When growing indoors, the blue agave thrives in warm and dry conditions. It can tolerate a wide range of temperatures, from around 50°F to 90°F. However, it prefers temperatures between 70°F and 80°F. As for humidity, it is adapted to arid environments and can tolerate low humidity levels. It is important to avoid overwatering the tequila plant to prevent root rot, as it prefers drier conditions.

For outdoor cultivation, this Weber blue agave tequilana is well-suited in USDA zones 9 and 10. The succulent plant can suffer freezing damage and, hence, can withstand temperatures as low as 20 F, but may suffer damage or die back if exposed to prolonged freezing temperatures. In colder climates, it is best to grow Agave tequilana as a potted agave plant that can be brought indoors during the winter months.

Final Thoughts

Overall, the tequila plant (Agave tequilana) also known as Blue Agave, is a fascinating plant that plays a significant role in tequila production. Its popularity stems from the fact that it is the primary ingredient used to make tequila, a beloved Mexican spirit. The Blue Agave's unique flavor profile and high sugar content make it perfect for creating this iconic drink. In terms of care, Blue Agave is relatively low-maintenance. It thrives in well-draining soil and requires minimal watering once established. It's a stunning plant that not only adds beauty to landscapes but also contributes to the delicious world of tequila.

With the help of the Agave tequilana, or blue agave tequila plant, you'll start to spend less time maintaining your garden and more time taking in its beauty! You can buy these beautiful blue agave plants for sale online here at Planet Desert to add to your collection.

Harrowing Cult Classic!
If you are considering this film, no doubt you know that it is a remake (or hommage to) the classic French thriller Wages of Fear. Chances are everyone is also familiar with the outlines of the plot--a group desparate men agree to transport cargoes of unstable dynamite through 200 miles of South American jungle to put out an oilfield fire. Of course the drivers know they have voluneered for a suicidal job and the odds are against the survival of any of the truck drivers. That alone puts Sorcerer (along with Runaway Train & Sam Peckinpaw's The Wild Bunch) into the rarest category of films: the big-budget Hollywood existential! My view, a distinct minority view, is that William Friedkin's remake surpasses the orginal as an exercise in suspense and harrowing, relentless action. Like many other fans of this movie, my introduction came during the 1980s on cable movie channels. Few people saw Sorcerer on the big screen. The film was initally panned by critics and cited as a prime example of a young director with too much ego, power and money creating yet another Hollywood box-office disaster. Gradually, the film acquired an audience and a legacy through word of mouth. Today many critics see Sorcerer as the last great product of the seventies generation of young Hollywood film-makers. It is no accident that Sorcerer and Star Wars opened the same day!In many ways, the film marks the transition from the courageous experimental Hollywood of the seventies to the family blockbusters and action franchises of today. Fans of Sorceror appreciate the director's commitment to the story of desperate men risking everything to escape a very realistic, modern version of hell on earth. The opening backstory sequences show us how a small-time New Jersey criminal, a disgraced French banker, a Mexican assassin, and an Arab terrorist find themselves driving old trucks that can (and will) explode at any moment. The film has a hypnotic, dreamlike feel and the viewer will be drawn into a dark journey that can only end one way. The score by the German band Tangerine Dream is at once seductive and chilling and contributes to the growing atmosphere of susense and dread. If you like stylish action and relentless story-telling, you should not miss this film. The DVD quality is OK but perhaps we might hope for a remastered director's cut with better special features at some point.

My teeth look 20 years younger!
Wow, this is the first toothpaste that has actually worked in whitening my teeth. For reference, they were mildly yellow, I'm a daily coffee with creamer drinker. I feel like this toothpaste has taken the color of my teeth back to how they were in my 20s. I like the fresh taste and smooth texture. The tube is smaller than regular toothpaste, but I believe in quality over quantity. I'd rather pay a little more for a quality product with better end results!

You need to read this....A+ stuff!
Ok, I have to give my honest opinion here.... I had (yes past tense) two teeth that had small stains on them and the last time I had my teeth cleaned at my Dentists office he stated he could not remove the stains... So, I read the reviews on this toothpaste, did some more research on Google and got it today. After lunch, I brushed my teeth and looked and the stains and they seemed to look lighter. I thought hummm.? Really? Then after dinner, I brushed my teeth again and just looked into the mirror out of curiosity (been a few hours) and I don't see either stain at all ... completely GONE! I am being very honest and so surprised that both stains were gone... Yeah, I know what you're thinking when you are reading this...B.S. right? Well, I am so surprised myself that I ordered two more tubes since they're on sale and I plan on giving one of them to a friend that has some coffee stains on her teeth and see if it works for her too... So, I would have to say that by purchasing the two tubes that I did, was way cheaper than going to my Dentist that stated they couldn't get rid of the stains. I'm totally 100% impressed with this Crest 3D White .. my new go toooooo forever! P.S. I am a ice tea drinker by heart and sometimes coffee too. Signed: So impressed by this stuff and it actually taste good and made my mouth feel fresh and my breath was fresh for a long time too....A+++++ toothpaste! Quick Shipping as well.....

Beautiful white teeth
This works great. I always keep my teeth, nice and clean and bright and white and usually I have to buy Dental whitening, but this is the first time I found a product that you can just brush your teeth a few times a week and it keeps your teeth, nice and white.

Refreshing toothpaste that helps to deep clean your teeth.
Good tasting toothpaste that cleans my teeth well. It seems to have a tiny bit of grit to it to help remove stains on your teeth. The tube is quite small. So, you do not get a lot of toothpaste. But a little goes a long way. I think that it did make my teeth a bit whiter. I did not have any sensitivity to it at all.
