However, it's important to note that agaves are monocarpic, meaning they only flower once in their lifetime before eventually dying.

As for center stripe agave care, it thrives in well-draining soil and prefers bright, indirect light.

It's important to water it sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.

As for outdoor cultivation, this agave is hardy in USDA zones 9-11, which means it can tolerate mild frost but may require protection during colder temperatures. 

Propagation of Agave lophantha splendida can be done through offsets or pups that grow around the base of the parent plant. These can be carefully separated and replanted to produce new plants.
