      \n
    • \n

      If new leaves come out small, distorted or deformed<\/strong>, the plant may be lacking light.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      If you have to place it in a dark place (like a room without windows), you can use LED grow light<\/strong> Place about 30\u201340 cm away from the plant and give it 10\u201312 hours of light per day.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                \u00a0Agave americana is one of the most common species of the genus Agave, notable for its large, long, thick leaves that are blue or silvery-green in color. The edges of the leaves are marked with sharp spines, giving it a robust and thorny appearance. The species is known for its long lifespan, often taking decades to flower once, after which the mother plant dies, leaving behind offspring. The plant is very drought tolerant, suitable for hot, dry climates, and is often grown as an ornamental in areas with limited water.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":8272,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[262],"product_tag":[606],"class_list":{"0":"post-8269","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-agave","7":"product_tag-agave-americana","9":"first","10":"instock","11":"featured","12":"shipping-taxable","13":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kla.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/8269","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kla.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kla.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kla.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8272"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kla.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8269"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kla.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=8269"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kla.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=8269"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kla.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=8269"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
