When selecting a pot for an Agave, the following should be considered: 1. Size: Choose a pot that is big enough to give the plant room to grow. Select a pot that is at least two inches wider than the diameter of the plant. 2. Drainage: The pot should have drainage holes at the bottom to allow excess water to drain out. If there are no drainage holes in the pot, make sure to drill some before planting. 3. Material: Terra cotta pots are a good choice for Agave as they are porous and allow for good air circulation, which can help prevent root rot. Plastic or glazed ceramic pots can also be used, but make sure they have good drainage. 4. Weight: Agave plants can become quite large and heavy, so choose a pot that is sturdy enough to support the weight of the plant. 5. Location: Consider where the pot will be placed. If it will be placed in a windy area, choose a heavier pot to prevent it from tipping over. If it will be placed in a brightly lit area, choose a pot that is not too dark-colored as it may overheat the soil and roots.
