Mangave 'Praying Hands'

Introducing the captivating Mangave 'Praying Hands', a hybrid marvel that combines the best features of its Manfreda and Agave parents. This unique succulent hails from a lineage known for its resilience and striking appearance, making it a fascinating addition to any plant collection. 'Praying Hands' stands out with its narrow, upright leaves that resemble hands clasped in prayer, each leaf boasting a mesmerizing pattern of spots and streaks ranging from deep green to silvery blue.

The texture of 'Praying Hands' is equally intriguing, with leaves that feel like a blend of rubber and wax, edged with tiny, soft spines that pose no threat to handlers. This plant is relatively compact, growing up to 12 inches in height and width, making it perfect for indoor containers, rock gardens, or as a singular statement piece in a minimalist landscape design. Despite its delicate appearance, 'Praying Hands' is tough, drought-resistant, and requires minimal care, thriving in well-draining soil and bright, indirect light.

As seasons change, 'Praying Hands' may surprise you with its adaptability, its colors intensifying under stress from the sun or cold, adding to its dynamic allure.

With its striking form, intriguing textures, and minimal care requirements, Mangave 'Praying Hands' is truly a collector's dream, inviting a touch of the exotic into your home or garden.

Plant sizing is based on the diameter of the nursery pot (2", 2.5", 3", 4" etc), not the plant itself. Plants may be slightly larger or smaller than the pot they are grow in depending on availability or time of year. While we do our best to ship plants as similar to those pictured as possible, please keep in mind that all plants are unique from one to the next, and display color, shape, and growth variation based on current environment, time of year, and other contributing factors. Please note that we ship our plants as dry as possible in the fall and winter months to prevent root rot or freezing. They will plump back up after planting!
