Most species are monocarpic, although a few can flower several times during their life. The flowers are “perfect” with both male and female parts. Many species of \u003ci\u003eAgave\u003c\/i\u003e are bat pollinated and produce musky perfumes as attractants. Others produce sweeter odours to attract insects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost \u003ci\u003eAgaves\u003c\/i\u003e consist of rosettes of thick, hard, rigid but succulent leaves often with marginal teeth and usually with a lethally sharp terminal spine. Prolific vegetative growth and offsetting at the base of the plant or through stolons, usually maintains a clump of plants thus compensating for loss of flowering rosettes. A few species remain solitary, relying on seed production for survival of the species.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe interior of the leaves contains longitudinal fibres representing the vascular system. \u003ci\u003eAgave\u003c\/i\u003e leaf fibre was used by native Americans. \u003ci\u003eAgave\u003c\/i\u003e fibre from a range of species is of commercial importance, with the best quality fibre coming from the youngest leaves. Sisal (hemp) made from cultivated \u003ci\u003eAgave sisalana\u003c\/i\u003e is used to make clothing and rugs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarbohydrates stored in the core of several species of \u003ci\u003eAgave\u003c\/i\u003e were fermented by native Americans to make a beverage called pulque which was used in religious ceremonies. Distillation of a similar ferment made from the developing \u003ci\u003eAgave\u003c\/i\u003e flower bud is the basis for modern production of Mezcal. Only if made from the Blue \u003ci\u003eAgave \u003c\/i\u003ewithin Tequila, Mexico can the distillate be called Tequila.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Succulent Source","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44955800273137,"sku":"AGAVE dragon toe 6\"","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/5711\/6312\/files\/Agave-Dragon-Toes-in-6-Container-Succulent-Large-Exact.jpg?v=1753715564","url":"https:\/\/villohome.com\/products\/agave-dragon-toes-in-6-container","provider":"Villohome","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
