This plant make only visible the variegated when it get bigger, this is not common. If you want to see the difference go to my store to check the albo marginated to compare the color. Agave guiengola lemon-lime marginata, nice variegated- This succulent forms open rosettes. The few massively thick, white-green glaucus leaves are very broad at the base and taper to brown terminal spines. When mature this plant produces a 5 to 6 foot tall spike with pale yellow flowers, Plant in full sun to light shade and irrigate only occasionally in coastal gardens (seems to suffer from edema from over watering) to regularly in hotter inland gardens. Protect from temperatures below 25 degrees F. to avoid disfiguring the foliage. A stunning plant for large containers or planted in a protected spot in the succulent garden. NOTE: you are buying the small plant on 4" pot, the big plant on 10" pot is not for sale, is part of my private collection only for reference, as you can see on both pictures the variegated on this plant get better while the plant grow. I guarantee the plant you are buying is a pup from the big plant on picture. This beautiful healthy plant is easy to keep but hard to find, Don't miss this one ,The showing pot is 4", the plant you are buying will be same size and shape of the one picture on 4" pot.
