It features long, triangular, bluish-green tubercles that resemble agave leaves, giving it an unusual appearance. The plant produces large, fragrant, yellow flowers that bloom at the top of mature specimens. Over time, it develops a thick taproot and can reach up to 70 cm in height. Leuchtenbergia principis thrives in well-draining soil, full sun, and requires minimal watering, making it highly drought-tolerant.
