GB:
Name - Agave filifera's common name is thread agave because of the fine filaments at the leaf tips. The word Agave, pronounced a-GAV-ay, is from the Greek agauos meaning admirable, filifera thread-bearing.

Description - Agaves are succulents with sword-shaped leaves often with fierce spines at the tips.
Family - Agavacae
Origin - Southern USA and South America
Care Tips - Succulents are very easy to care for as they store their own nutrients and moisture in their leaves. They will stand full sun and relish a difference between day and night temperatures, which can be provided in the winter. Water very infrequently in winter. In summer, they love a spell outside or at an open window.

Trivia - The stem of the flowering spike of these plants are used for rope and fibre. They are also the source of both tequila and pulque, the distilled and fermented drinks from Mexico.
