Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Sisal Hemp is drought-tolerant and overwatering can lead to root rot. In cooler months, reduce watering significantly.

Ensure pots have excellent drainage to prevent waterlogging, which is crucial for this arid-adapted succulent.

Pruning is generally minimal for Agave sisalana, primarily involving the removal of dead or damaged leaves. Cut away any brown or yellowed foliage at the base of the plant using clean, sharp shears.

The plant develops a rosette and typically does not require shaping.

Agave sisalana is typically propagated through offsets (pups) that form around the base of the mature plant. Carefully remove the pups with a sharp knife when they are a few inches tall and have their own root system.

Allow them to callus for a few days before planting in well-draining soil.

Repot mature plants only when they become root-bound, which is infrequent. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one with ample drainage holes.

Use a gritty, well-draining potting mix specifically formulated for succulents or cacti. Repotting is best done in spring.
