Soil

Use a potting soil mix with a little sand; a cactus & succulents likes good drainage. You can mix in a little slow release organic fertilizer, but it is not necessary.

Make sure to pack down the soil around the transplanted plant, and thoroughly water it, to help spur the rooting process in the new soil.

Sunlight

Place the plant in a bright area of the home; a south or south-east facing window works great. If natural light is not adequate, you can supplement with a nice natural white florescent bulb. You can put it outside in summer and spring, with indirect light, but it will need to remain indoors during fall and winter.

Temperature

Agave americana likes warm temperatures in summer and cooler in winter with a minimum of 10°C (50°F). Normal room temperature is great for Agave americana during the growth period.
Plants become more tolerant of cold temperatures as they grow larger.

If the plant gets too fleshy and starts to lean over, you need to water less often.Dry climate, outdoors: Water every two to three days when warm and sunny.Humid, cool or indoors: Water every week.During the fall and winter months, the plants should be watered less frequently in order to promote blooming.
