Origin and Habitat: Garden origin.

• х Mangave cv. Expresso hort.
• х Mangave cv. Macho Mocha Albo-Variegata hort.

Description: It a variegated version of x Mangave 'macho moka' created by Hans Hansen (Possibly a cross between Manfreda variegata and Agave celsiiSN|301]]SN|301]]).
Rosettes: about 90 cm wide at maturity.
Leavres: Thick, fleshy grey-green, smothered in large liver-colored dots and adorned with a wide creamy-white edge.

Cultivation and Propagation: It is a relatively easy-to-grow plant. Seems pretty wimpy in hot, blazing sun, but does great in partial sun to shade. It is relatively cold sensitive for an Agave, Just a light freeze (-2° C) for an extended period can burn some leaves (but can survive to at least – 6°, particularly when dry, even though portion of a mature plant can ‘melt’)... but it's too beautiful to risk not covering it on cold nights.
Need a very well-drained, soil. It grows fairly fast in summer if provided with copious water but allows to dry thoroughly before watering again (the more water and fertilizer this plant gets the faster it will grow). During the winter months, one should only water enough to keep the leaves from shrivelling.
It does great in containers or in the ground. Plants cultivated outdoors are more drought tolerant and can take some heat and full sun. Winter storms and rain can damage the outdoor plants (A physiological condition called edema or oedema).
Be aware that slugs seem to love this plant and can severely damage it. Will grow well with quite a bit of shade, bull sun will give the best colour.
Propagation: Most of the plant in cultivation are clones obtained from micropropagation, as this cultivar rarely suckers. If suckers will be available remove them in spring or summer and let the cuttings dry for a few days before inserting in compost.
