This slow-growing cultivar distinguishes itself with its mesmerizingly textured leaves, boasting deeply grooved surfaces and a distinctive hammered appearance. Originating from the Oaxaca region of Mexico, this remarkable agave is a true testament to the beauty of adaptation and resilience.

Distinctive Features

  • Textured Leaves: The 'Ohi Raijin' is renowned for its deeply grooved, hammered leaves, creating a mesmerizing three-dimensional effect.
  • Compact Size: This cultivar maintains a relatively compact size, making it suitable for container gardening and smaller spaces.
  • Terminal Spines: Each leaf is adorned with a sharp, dark terminal spine, adding to its dramatic appearance.

Care Tips

  • Light: Provide your 'Ohi Raijin' with bright, indirect light or even some direct sunlight. However, protect it from intense afternoon sun, which can cause leaf burn.
  • Water: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water sparingly during the growing season (spring and summer) and even less in autumn and winter.
  • Humidity: This agave thrives in average household humidity levels and does not require any special humidity considerations.
  • Temperature: Maintain a temperature range of 18-24°C (64-75°F) for optimal growth. Protect from frost during winter.
  • Fertiliser: Feed your 'Ohi Raijin' with a balanced succulent fertiliser once a year during the growing season.
  • Potting: Use a well-draining cactus and succulent potting mix. Repot every 2-3 years in spring, choosing a slightly larger container each time.
  • Propagation: Propagate through offsets or pups that occasionally form at the base of the plant. Allow the offsets to dry and callus before planting in well-draining soil.
