Growing Mangave, Purple People Eater in Alabama

Provide bright sun, well-draining gritty soil, and excellent airflow. Water deeply after the soil has dried rather than keeping the roots constantly damp; reduce water in cool weather. In the Southeast, a pot with drainage is often safer than heavy clay ground. Protect from frost and extended winter wetness by moving the plant to a bright, frost-free location.
