Description

  • Basic Info
    • Scientific Name: Agave potatorum var. verschaffeltii 'Medio-picta Alba'
    • Common Name: Dwarf Butterfly Agave, White Middle Variegated
    • Family: Asparagaceae (Agave Family)
    • Size: Diameter 5 cm (mini compact size)
    • Culture: Own-rooted, seed-grown / head-cut; healthy & sturdy
    Features
    • Perfect Miniature Rosette: Extremely compact, symmetrical, globe-shaped. Only 5 cm wide—ideal "palm-sized" agave.
    • Stunning White Variegation: Broad, creamy-white stripe down the center of each leaf, bordered by crisp, deep green margins. High contrast, clean & elegant.
    • Leaf Form: Short, thick, fleshy, broadly triangular (obovate-spathulate). Surface slightly rough with a light powdery coating.
    • Spines: Small, soft, reddish-brown marginal teeth and a short terminal spine. Not sharp or dangerous—safe for desktops.
    • Growth Habit: Slow-growing, stays small for years. Very stable variegation.
    Care Guide
    • Light: Bright indirect light to full sun. Protect white parts from intense midday sun (may scorch).
    • Water: Thoroughly soak only when soil is 100% dry. Keep completely dry in winter. Never let water sit in the center.
    • Soil: Super well-draining agave/cactus mix (70–80% perlite/pumice/grit).
    • Temperature: Minimum 5°C (41°F) in winter. Warm, dry conditions best.
    • Fertilizer: Dilute, low-nitrogen fertilizer once monthly in spring/summer only.
    Advantages
    • Top-tier desktop agave: Tiny size, incredible color, modern aesthetic.
    • Rare, clean white variegation (naturally stable, not forced).
    • Low-maintenance & drought-tolerant; perfect for busy collectors.
    • Safe, soft spines—great for homes/offices.
    • Slow-growing: Maintains perfect 5 cm form for long periods.
    Shipping Notes
    • Delivered bare-root (dry, healthy root system).
    • Firm, pest-free, rot-free; strong white variegation.
    • Plant in dry mix; withhold water 7–10 days to acclimate.
    • Start in bright shade; slowly increase sun exposure.
