A hardy, medium size succulent with long fleshy foliage. Mangave Mission to Mars leaves are a blue-grey with intense dark purple spotting/patterns. The pigments displayed in the foliage are best in the Summer with the warmth. Low water requirements, avoid overwatering in cooler weather conditions as this could lead to root rot. Succulents can survive long periods without water, however, it is always recommended to check the soil prior to watering. If the soil feels wet there is no need to water, if the soil feels dry time to water. Apply a slow-release fertiliser once every 6 months to promote healthy growth, avoid using liquid concentrates as succulents dislike sudden high-intakes of nitrogen as it can cause limp growth. Succulents are best used for potted displays or planted out into the garden.

Planting Tips:
Make sure to prepare the soil prior to planting. Once the soil has been prepare, dig a hole which is wider, but not deeper, than what the original size of the pot the plant has come in. Position the plant in the hole and backfill any gaps with the excess soil. Give the plant a deep soaking of water to help settle the roots.

If planting into a pot make sure that the container chosen is large enough for the plant being planted. Never pot a plant into a container which is too small. Use a premium quality potting mix as this has all the added fertilisers and wetting agents required for having a healthy plant.
