Agave perotensis

Agave perotensis has no wild records in GBIF and no account we could reach. The name suggests the Perote area of Veracruz, Mexico, a cold, dry high plateau, but that is only inferred. Grow it like other highland Mexican agaves: full sun, a mineral mix, and a cool, dry winter.

Where it grows wild

Unknown for this name. If it comes from the Perote area, the habitat would be dry grassland and scrub on volcanic soils of the eastern Mexican plateau, in the rain shadow of the Sierra Madre Oriental.

The Perote valley lies at roughly 2,300-2,500 m; this is an assumption from the name.
