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.

Super Cute, Fun, & Effective
Color: Lightgreen
This set of water flosser and electric toothbrush are just adorable! The shapes of them fit in the hands really comfortably, but also add to the cuteness as the shapes of the animals! Yes, this is meant for kids - so the toothbrush heads are small (for little kids), and the water flosser doesn't spray terribly hard. BUT they're still very effective. I especially like the water flosser. It can be taken into the bathtub/shower while bathing, so the spray doesn't end up going places we don't want water to go. It has a small tank of water, and I recommend using room temp water (rather than cold) so that it's comfortable on the gums and teeth. Also to note, the flosser doesn't work when it's sideways or upside-down - it needs to be held upright. This set is so cute, easy to use, easy to re-charge, and very comfortable. It's also very good quality - a great purchase. I love it!

4 year old approved!
Color: Lightgreen, Color: Lightgreen
Love that this is a complete set, down to the wall block for the charger! My daughter is 4 and absolutely loves this set. I personally feel like the toothbrush head is a tad small, but it does do the job well. Its a soft brush head, with plenty of replacement heads. The toothbrush and the flosser both arrived fully charged, and so far we havent had to recharge it, but we're only a few days in. So, it seems to have a pretty good battery life so far. (I will update my review if anything changes on that aspect) The toothbrush and flosser both stand upright independently on the counter, without tipping over. The water flosser is hard fir my daughter to do by herself. She sprays water everywhere, as theres several buttons on it and she cant seem to remember in time which button turns it off. I help her with flossing and its been going fine. Whether youre on high or low the water pressure is not too hard for a kids mouth. In fact, I think the low setting does nothing but rinse the mouth and basically teach the habit of flossing. We use the high setting and it does and OK job. I am a little old school though, and feel like nothing will top a good ole dental floss flossing, but water flossing is a safer route to avoid cutting gums or getting floss stuck between close teeth. The sound level is minimal, a fraction of the sound level my adult water flosser makes. It doesnt shake/vibrate too badly in the hand and theyre bith comfortable to hold, and size appropriate for my (4yrs) daughters hands. It comes in a really nice box, packaged perfectly, making this a great gift for your little ones. The colors and theme makes brushing teeth exciting and fun again for your littles :)

Great for kids
Color: Lightgreen
The HUACOCARE Kids Water Flosser and Electric Toothbrush Combo is an absolute game-changer for establishing a solid dental hygiene routine with children. The light green giraffe and monkey design is incredibly charming and immediately turned what used to be a bedtime struggle into a fun activity that my child actually looks forward to. Having both the sonic toothbrush and the water flosser in one compact unit is brilliant, as it saves counter space while ensuring that every part of their mouth gets a professional-level clean. The three gentle flossing modes and two sonic brushing modes are perfectly calibrated for younger, more sensitive gums, providing a thorough clean without any discomfort. One of the standout features of this set is how braces-friendly it is; the water flosser reaches those tricky spots around wires and brackets that a standard toothbrush simply can't touch. It is clear that a lot of thought went into the ergonomics and the "fun factor," making it a perfect gift that is both practical and engaging. Since we started using this combo, our dentist has noticed a significant improvement in plaque removal and overall gum health. If you are looking for an all-in-one solution to build healthy brushing habits and make dental care feel like less of a chore, this set is worth every penny.

This is what floss is supposed to be!
I usually don't leave reviews, but after one use, I'm super impressed. **Note: If you have really tight teeth, this product is not going to work for you and will probably shred. Using traditional floss never really felt like it cleaned well as it was so slick and wasn't good at cleaning the wider gaps. I tried using those plastic rubber-coated picks for the wider areas, but they were so flimsy and would break or couldn't fit. This floss is the perfect in-between! It's thick enough to actually clean out the wider gaps, but not too thick that it can't fit between my slightly tighter teeth. A bonus is that it has a bit of grip so that it will actually clean the side of the tooth. The black color is super helpful to see what it pulled out and ensure you don't put a used section back in. I love the case is refillable and the packaging is almost 100% recyclable. The only thing I couldn't recycle was the plastic bag that the floss came in. I also found the instruction page helpful to put the case together and I liked the personalized note in the package. The only negatives I can think of is the little tabs on the bottom side could be hard to push open if you have arthritis or other limited hand mobility. These tabs open the inner cover for the floss to go inside, so you would only have to deal with them every 12 weeks or so. The second kinda negative is the scent options are limited. They only offer two on their website. I would really like to see an unscented option. Overall the mint and eucalyptus is really nice, but I usually prefer unscented floss. I would absolutely recommend this floss for anyone who doesn't have tight teeth!
