Maintain an agave properly: factors such as temperature, light and water
In many regions along the Mediterranean, the agave can hardly be imagined as a potted plant or wild from the landscape. If you want to cultivate these cactus-like plants yourself, you should not only keep an eye on the temperature on site.
Take care of the respective agave species
Whether an agave is hardy or not depends not least on the particular type of agave. Thus, the older specimens of some Agave species can be overwinter in certain outdoor situations, while others are better off on the windowsill. In principle, relatively fresh offshoots should be better protected from the frost than older specimens.

If leaves of the agaves turn yellow during or after the winter, this does not necessarily have to be frost damages. The reasons can also be found in the following factors:
Tips
When hibernating in the house, the agaves pulled in the pot on the terrace should be kept as cold as possible at about 10 to 15 degrees Celsius. In the spring, these agaves should not be placed in a sunny spot, if possible, in order to make it easier for the plants to change over their habituation time.
