Growing Info

Scarification: None required, soaking the seed for 24h is optional.

Stratification: none required

Germination: Use a very well draining medium containing coarse sand, perlite, peat, coco fiber or a similar medium. Surface sow the seed and cover lightly with a thin layer (1-2mm or the thickness of the seed) of sand. Gently mist the medium to settle the seed without displacing them. Do not cover pots/sowing trays with plastic or glass. Ideal temps are 75-90F during the day and 60-70F during the night. Germination should take place within a couple of weeks.

Other: Once seedlings have a few true leaves and are large enough to handle (usually a few months in), pot them individually into small pots with a well-draining succulent mix. Keep in a bright light environment and once established in the new pots, they should be able to take full sun.

Dasylirion quadrangulatum, originating from the heart of Mexico, stands out as a remarkable specimen among Mexican sotols. This captivating plant showcases a unique, spherical dome-shaped crown adorned with slender, arching leaves that embody the quintessential allure of desert-style flora. Unlike its spiny relatives, Dasylirion quadrangulatum is celebrated for its graceful, non-spiny foliage, forming a striking fountain-like silhouette reminiscent of delicate car antennas swayed by a gentle breeze. Reaching dimensions of 6 feet tall and 6 feet wide over a decade, this magnificent plant is both a visual and functional delight, boasting deer-resistant qualities that make it ideal for diverse landscapes. Its ability to thrive in somewhat shaded environments sets it apart from other sotols, allowing for versatile placement in your garden. Whether you're crafting a desert oasis or seeking a conversation piece, Dasylirion quadrangulatum promises to transform your outdoor space with its distinctive charm.
