🌵 Mangave ‘Lavender Lady’ – Care Tips

Mangave ‘Lavender Lady’ is a modern hybrid between Agave and Manfreda, prized for its elegant lavender-gray rosette with deep purple speckles. Its smooth, sculptural leaves and compact form make it a standout in succulent collections or as a statement in pots and dry gardens.

☀️ Light

• Thrives in full sun to bright light

• Indoors: place in the brightest window possible

• Outdoors: full sun brings out the deepest purple tones

💧 Watering

• Water when soil is completely dry

• In growing season (spring–summer): water deeply, infrequently

• Winter: reduce watering significantly

• Overwatering = root rot

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

• Heat-loving, ideal at 20–30°C (68–86°F)

• Cold-hardy to ~-6°C (20°F) with protection

• Low humidity preferred – no misting needed

🌱 Soil & Pot

• Use well-draining cactus or succulent mix

• Add perlite or pumice for better drainage

• Always pot in containers with drainage holes

🌿 Fertilizer

• Not heavy feeders

• Optional: use diluted succulent fertilizer in spring/summer

• No fertilizer needed during dormancy (fall/winter)

✂️ Maintenance

• Remove old/dry leaves from base as needed

• Rarely needs repotting due to slow growth

• Flowers only once after many years, then offsets (monocarpic)

🐾 Pet Safety

• Generally non-toxic, but best to keep out of reach due to possible mild irritation

Mangave ‘Lavender Lady’ is the perfect blend of grace and resilience, offering a soft yet sculptural touch to both indoor and outdoor plant displays.
