Each leaf almost looks like a striped petal, and the whole plant kind of has the effect of an unusually-coloured rose. Except that here, the spikes are on the 'petals' - well, the succulent's leaves. Its Latin name means 'Agave of the drinkers', maybe in reference to the alcoholic drinks made from Agave plants in their native Mexico. This plant won't take up much space in your home (growing to only about 12cm\/5\" in diameter) or in your watering schedule. Pop it in a bright window and let the soil dry out between waters and this plant will show its appreciation by giving you more stunning striped leaves.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eScientific Name\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAgave potatorum variegata\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 'Ouhi-Raijin' (admirable plant, belonging to the drinkers, variety: variegated, cultivar: Ouhi-Raijin)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eButterfly Agave, Blue Rose\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--td {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--td {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOrigin\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eNative to Mexico, especially semi-arid highland areas.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--td {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":11137,\"3\":{\"1\":0},\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"14\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0},\"16\":10}' data-sheets-value=\"{\u0026quot;1\u0026quot;:2,\u0026quot;2\u0026quot;:\u0026quot;This plant loves sun, so make sure it's somewhere in bright, preferably direct, light.
