Description
Agave victoriae-reginae 'Golden Princess' is a very slow growing but tough and nice variegated form of the Queen Victoria Agave.It is considered to be one of the most beautiful and desirable species. Variegation is yellow striping along the margins of each leaf. Rosettes are dense, globose, regular, slow growing, eventually growing up to 30 cm tall diameter and 30-40 cm across. Leaf are tight-fitting, thick, rigid, trigonous, 15-20 cm long and up to 3 cm broad, tapered ending in a small terminal spine with the leaf margins smooth and spineless. This cultivar has broad yellow margins which, in addition to the already brilliant silver markings on the margins and center of the leaf, give this plant a tricoloured look.
Environment
Queen Victoria agave needs plenty of full sun or light shade. However, protect it from harsh punishing afternoon sun. When kept indoors, place the plant in your sunniest window. This hardy agave can tolerate very cold temperatures down to 10 or 15° F.Full morning sun.
Queen Victoria agave appreciates plenty of water during the summer growing season. Provide water as soon as the soil goes dry, which can be multiple times a week in very dry climates. During wintertime this species goes dormant, which means waterings should be reduced drastically to prevent rot.
