Description

The listing, Century Plant has ended.

Century plant is baby from one of my mother plants. The ruler is for measurement purposes. Smaller baby plants can be substituted. These plants like environment of dry, hot, sunny, and windy with low rainfall and poor soil. Furthermore, they withstand drought, heat, strong winds, and cold weather, and have few pests and diseases. They are tolerant of poor soils and therefore rarely develop nutrient deficiencies. They are used for landscape uses, including groundcover, bedding plants, and container plants. These plants have defensive "weaponry"—stiff, hard, or leathery leaves, often armed with barbs, teeth, or spines as sharp as razors.

Plant Requirements require full sun (at least six hours of direct sunlight) for best appearance and growth. Can withstand cold damage (if the plant was located outdoors) Low temperatures in Florida include 21.50°F on January 22, 2009, and 28.44°F, 22.13°F, and 15.26°F on December 21, 2009, and January 5 and 11, 2010, respectively.

Century plants form new plants from offsets or "pups" Which you are bidding for.
