Agave americana

Agave americana, affectionately known as the Blue Century Plant, hails from the beautiful landscapes of Mexico and boasts stunning rosette-shaped succulents. This resilient evergreen has spread its charm and has been embraced in various tropical regions around the globe. With its impressive large, lanceolate, gray-green rosettes, this plant can grow to a standout height and width of 6 to 8 feet over time. Each leaf is a unique marvel, showcasing spiny tips, lovely waxy blooms, and sharp edges that add character to its form. Although flowering happens infrequently, when it does, it puts on a spectacular show.

 

The life of Agave americana is quite unique—it's monocarpic, meaning it puts all its energy into blooming just once before saying goodbye. It can grace us with its presence for up to 100 years before flowering, which is why it’s often called the century plant. Typically, outdoor plants will bloom somewhere between the tenth and 25th year, whereas homegrown ones tend to take a break from flowering. But when an outdoor Agave americana finally decides to bloom, it proudly sends up a tall and elegant flowering stalk that can rise between 15 and 30 feet! This stalk looks a bit like a narrow telephone pole, sporting horizontal branches near the top that are adorned with beautiful greenish-yellow flowers, each measuring about 3 to 4 inches long, blooming in lovely clusters at the tips of the branches. Over time, you’ll notice suckers and offsets rooting at the base of each rosette, often leading to a delightful colony of new plants. Even after a plant flowers and dies, the offsets surrounding it keep the story alive as they continue to grow.

 

Agave americana is also quite reliable in winter, thriving in USDA zones 8-10. This lovely plant flourishes best in full sun with sandy/gritty, well-drained, and dry to medium moisture soil. For container gardening, using a gritty, cactus-type potting mix is a great choice, but ensuring a sharp drainage system is crucial to keep root rot at bay. It’s quite accepting of dry soil and drought conditions too! Plus, you can propagate this wonderful plant from either seeds or offsets, making it even easier to share its beauty with others.

The awful smells keeps it from being five stars
Style: SPF 50 Lotion Mineral Sunscreen, Size: 3 Ounce (1 Pack)
I purchased two variants of this sunscreen - the 50 SPF lotion and the 33 SPF lotion. Despite the descriptions indicating that they have different scents, both seem to have the same scent, which is awful. One of the most important factors when purchasing a mineral sunscreen is the ease of application to the skin, and in my particular case, the ease of application to facial hair / a beard. I feel this sunscreen is lightweight and very easy to apply to the skin, including easy to apply to facial hair / a beard without stretching / pulling the skin. This makes it easy to wash off with a men's face wash. I feel the 33 SPF lotion is slightly more lightweight and easier to apply than the 50 SPF lotion. Another important factor when selecting a mineral sunscreen is the percentage of zinc oxide. This sunscreen meets the 20% or higher criteria, which makes it ideal for prolonged periods of exposed to UVA / UVB radiation. I would probably only recommend this sunscreen for incidental sun exposure; I am not sure how sweat resistant this sunscreen is being how lightweight it is and that it is not considered a sport sunscreen. I highly recommend and will continue to purchase.

Great sunscreen and great customer service!
Style: SPF 50 Spray Mineral Sunscreen, Size: 4.5 Ounce (1 Pack)
Really effective long lasting sunscreen without all the bad chemicals. Alcohol free, which I'm looking for in all lotions. Great product and even better customer service. I had a problem with one of my items and received a call from Aloe Up the same day. Support USA-family owned businesses.

Got burned
Our son used up the entire bottle during a day at the beach, reapplying every 1-2 hours, and still got quite burned.
