Introducing the Agave desmettiana, also known as smooth agave because of the smooth texture of its leaves. It has several other common names such as the dwarf century plant, smooth century plant, and spineless jade agave. 

Hailing from Mexico, its bright green leaves form an incredible rosette that can grow up to a whopping 4 feet in diameter and 3 feet in height.


The Agave desmettiana has small teeth or sharp reddish-brown spines along the edges, adding an eye-catching element to any garden or landscape.

As this century agave matures, it forms clumps and spreads throughout the area in which it grows.

Each rosette of Agave desmettiana will only bloom once in the spring or early summer, typically between the ages of 10 and 15 years.

With side branches that bear terminal clusters of pale yellow flowers, the flowering stalk rises to a height of eight feet from the center of a rosette. After a century plant blooms the rosette dies, but new rosettes can be easily propagated by offsets or suckers from the mother plant base. 

You may also like Variegated Smooth Agave known as Agave desmetiana variegata which is a stunning succulent with striking variegated leaves that add a pop of color to any garden or landscape. This low-maintenance plant thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, making it a perfect choice for beginners or busy gardeners.

Agave desmettiana propagation can be done through the division of offsets or by collecting and planting seeds. Offsets are small plantlets that grow around the base of the mother plant and can be carefully separated and replanted in their own pots. It is important to ensure that the new plants have well-draining soil and receive plenty of sunlight to encourage healthy growth. 

Watering Needs 

Like all succulents, Agave desmettiana has unique watering needs that differ from those of other types of agave plants. Overwatering is a common problem with Agave desmettiana, as it can lead to root rot and other issues. To prevent this, it's important to water these century plants sparingly and only when the soil is completely dry.

In the spring and summer, during the active growing season, you may need to water your Agave desmettiana more frequently. On the other hand, in the fall and winter, during the dormant season in the fall and winter, you can reduce watering to once every few weeks. 

When watering your Agave desmettiana, it's important to water the soil directly and avoid getting water on the leaves or stems. This can cause the agave plant to rot or develop fungal infections. Be sure to discard any excess water that has been collected in the saucer.

With proper watering, your smooth agave can thrive and add beauty to your home or garden. 

Light Requirements 

If you are growing the smooth agave indoors, place it near a south-facing window or use grow lights to provide it with the necessary light.

In addition to sunlight, Agave desmettiana also benefits from good air circulation. This helps to prevent the buildup of moisture around the century plant, which can lead to fungal infections and other issues. If you are growing it indoors, be sure to open windows or use a fan to keep the air moving around the plant.  

For outdoor cultivation, the smooth Agave desmettiana requires a lot of sunlight for at least 4-6 hours a day.  Remember, too much direct sunlight can cause the leaves to burn, while too little light can cause the agave plant to become leggy and weak. Ideally, desmettiana agave should be placed in a spot that receives partial to full sun for most of the day.  

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The smooth Agave plants favor very airy, sandy, well-drained soil. Planting them in ordinary soil will result in compacted roots, stunted growth, and, most likely, root rot. Instead, make or buy a well-draining potting mix, or ideally use our specialized succulents potting mix that contains 5 natural substrates and mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your succulent to thrive. 

When it comes to fertilizing your agave plant, it only needs a small amount of fertilizer applied once a year in spring. Succulents prefer a fertilizer with lower doses of NPK, with a maximum ratio of 5-10-5 that is higher in phosphorus than nitrogen. 

Hardiness Zones & More 

When growing indoors, Agave desmettiana prefers temperatures between 65°F to 75°F and is ideal for the plant's growth and health. Additionally, indoor humidity levels should be moderate, around 40% to 50%, to mimic its natural habitat conditions.

For outdoor cultivation, this plant typically thrives in zones 9 to 11, where temperatures stay above freezing. Agave desmettiana should ideally be around 30% to 50% to prevent issues like fungal diseases.

Remember, it is important to protect the plant from frost and freezing temperatures, as prolonged exposure to cold can damage or kill your agave plant. If you live in a colder climate, consider growing your Agave desmettiana as a container plant that can be brought indoors during the winter months. 

Final Thoughts

Overall, the Agave desmettiana (Smooth Agave) is a stunning succulent plant known for its smooth, blue-green leaves and architectural form. It is drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, making it an excellent choice for xeriscaping or adding a touch of desert beauty to any garden. It is most well-known for its attractive, dark blue-green leaves, but it also has infrequent but spectacular flowering spikes that appear at the end of each plant's life cycle. To care for this plant, ensure it receives bright, indirect sunlight, well-draining soil, and moderate humidity levels.  With its striking appearance and specific care needs, Agave desmettiana is a captivating choice for plant enthusiasts or buyers looking for a distinctive addition to their collection.

Reliable Replacement Parts That Work Well
Color: Saros 10r-20/Qrevo Curvx Accessories
These replacement parts have worked very well with our machine so far. The fit was accurate, installation was straightforward, and everything lined up the way it should without needing any adjustments. Performance has been just as good as the original parts we were replacing. Once installed, the machine operated normally, and I haven’t noticed any issues with function or compatibility during regular use. Overall, this is a dependable set of replacement parts to keep on hand for routine maintenance or unexpected breakdowns. Having extras available makes repairs a lot easier when something eventually wears out or needs to be swapped.

Solid replacement kit for the Roborock Saros - everything you need in one pack
Color: Saros 10r-20/Qrevo Curvx Accessories, Color: Saros 10r-20/Qrevo Curvx Accessories
Everything in this kit fits my Roborock Saros without any issues. The main brushes, side brushes, mop pads, filters, and dust bags all installed the same way as the originals, and nothing felt loose or off. The kit comes with a lot of parts too, so I have plenty of spares to work through before needing to reorder anything. The quality on the individual pieces looks good. The main brushes feel solid and the rubber fins on them look well formed. The mop pads have a dense microfiber texture on one side and a rougher scrubbing surface on the other, and they feel comparable to the OEM pads. The dust bags are the sealed filter bag style with the gray plastic collar, same as the stock ones, and the filters look like they have the same fine media as the originals. Overall this is a good replacement kit if you have one of the compatible Saros models and want to stock up on all your consumables at once.

Fully Functional Replacement Set
Color: Saros 10r-20/Qrevo Curvx Accessories, Color: Saros 10r-20/Qrevo Curvx Accessories
This 28-pack accessories kit is a highly functional and convenient option for maintaining your robot vacuum. It comes fully loaded with all the essentials, and every single part—from the main brushes to the mop pads and dust bags—fits the Saros 20. In terms of daily performance, the pieces work exactly as advertised, capturing dust and mopping floors effectively to keep your cleaning routine on track.The only drawback is that the material quality is not quite as good as the original brand-name parts. The plastic on the brushes and the fabric on the filters feel a bit thinner, meaning they may not last as long as the originals before needing another swap. However, given the sheer volume of pieces you get for the price, it remains a reliable, budget-friendly choice that gets the job done.

Excellent fit and value - recommended buy
Size: 3+12+12+2+1 pack
I rarely write reviews, but I'm so impressed by the fit and quality of this set that I made an exception. I'd been running my eufy 11S without brushes, and have been cleaning and reusing the filters for a while now and finally decided to buy replacements. The kit came packed well with everything in order and no damage. I replaced all of the worn parts and installed the brushes and did a test run - everything worked great. I expected some fitment issues because I've seen that with other kits, but I had no issues. The fact that you get multiples of almost everything is icing on the cake. Oh, and I wasn't paid or given anything in exchange for this review, as much as that's worth now, haha. I can recommend getting this kit for your robot vacuum, if it's the right set for your model.

Good option for an aftermarket replacement solution.
Size: 3+12+12+2+1 pack
I've been very happy with this product. I think it is a good price point for what is included. Everything was a directly compatible and everything fit as you would expect. The filter quality is good and since there are plenty in the kit I find I change the filters more often which is probably a good thing. I recommed.
