Introducing the Agave medio-picta alba, known as the white-striped century plant, which is a stunning member of the Agave genus. It is a stunning plant with striped leaves, which makes it a popular choice among plant enthusiasts. Native to Mexico, it is widely cultivated for its ornamental value. The var. mediopicta 'Alba' is a medium to smaller growing form of Agave americana. 

Apart from its scientific name, the White Striped Century Plant is also commonly referred to as the White Striped Agave or the Alba Agave. These names highlight its distinctive, white-striped foliage. 


One of the most striking features of this agave is its leaves. They are thick, fleshy, and triangular in shape, with prominent white stripes running along the edges.

The leaves grow in a rosette pattern, forming a beautiful and symmetrical plant.The white stripes provide a stark contrast against the green background, making it a visually captivating addition to any garden or indoor space.

The White Striped Century Plant typically can grow up to 2 feet tall and 3 feet wide. However, it can vary depending on the growing conditions and care provided.

As it grows, new leaves emerge from the center of the rosette, gradually adding to the overall size and beauty of the plant. The Agave medio-picta alba blooms after a decade and produces flower stalks that can reach up to 8 feet in height. These stalks are adorned with small, yellow-green flowers, adding an extra touch of beauty to the plant.

However, it's important to note that this agave is monocarpic, meaning it flowers only once in its lifetime before eventually dying. But don't worry, it usually takes several years before it reaches this stage. During this time, the agave will produce pups or offsets that can be replanted to continue the cycle. This ensures that the plant's legacy lives on even after it has flowered and died. 

Agaves are slow-growing, dramatic plants that thrive on neglect. They are suitable for those who prefer a sunny window and don't mind frequent watering. However, large varieties may outgrow rooms and can be aggressive due to their irritating sap and sharp thorns.  

Agave mediopicta alba doesn't need annual repotting, as most species grow slowly and take a long time to outgrow their pot. Handling them minimally is best, and when repotting, refresh the soil with our specialized potting mix and ensure the plant is firmly anchored. Be careful not to pot the Agave too deep to prevent stem rot during the growing season.  

The Agave mediopicta alba thrives in well-draining soil. It prefers warm indoor temperatures range between 65°F and 85°F. Avoid placing it near cold drafts or in areas with extreme temperature fluctuations, as this can stress the plant.

You can grow them outdoors, in USDA zone 8-11. These zones generally have mild to warm climates, with winter temperatures that rarely dip below freezing. If you live in one of these zones, you can grow this agave outdoors year-round, as long as it's protected from frost and extreme cold. 

Agave mediopicta alba can be propagated through offsets or pups that grow from the base of the mother plant. These offsets can be carefully removed and replanted in well-draining soil to establish new plants. Be sure to add Agave americana mediopicta alba to your home or garden and enjoy its low-maintenance care, while admiring its impressive display year after year.
