Plant in full sun where it is drought tolerant and also fairly cold hardy. Yucca Do Nursery in Texas noted that this plant was not damaged at 15° F and Tony Avent at Plant Delights Nursery notes it is hardy to the single digits, though also noted that care should be used not to allow it to remain too wet in winter.

Agave salmiana var. ferox 'Green Goblet' was first selected from plant growing near the Sierra Chiquita Mountains in Mexico for its more compact rosettes and greener leaves within a population of plants that were more open and blue-green colored. It was introduced into the trade by the now closed Yucca Do Nursery in 1996. We grew and sold this plant, from 2008 until 2013 and marketed it as a more compact and smaller form of the large plant we long grew and sold as Agave salmiana 'Green Giant'. We later noted that Plant Delights Nursery began offering this plant under the name Agave x pseudoferox 'Green Goblet' to indicate that this plant is thought to be a hybrid between Agave americana ssp. protoamericana and Agave gentryi. Agave americana ssp. protoamericana, first described by Howard Scott Gentry in 1982, was thought by Gentry to be the original source of plants within the Agave americana complex.
