Little is yet know about cultivation of this plant but one might guess that full sun in a well drained soil with little irrigation required would be a safe bet, but cold hardiness has yet to be tested.

This plant was first collected by a local Mexican seed collector named Salomón Javier Romero on rocky outcrops in a remote valley in Oaxaca and seed first distributed by RarePalms.com and we thank Brian Kemble and Kelly Griffin for sharing some of their purchased seed with us. There is speculation that this plant might have affinities to Agave chiapensis and Agave mitis, but as a name place holder it was called Agave magnifica (because it is of course magnificent!) until it was officially described by Greg Starr in 2022 and named after the man who first collected it. There are many nice pictures of this agave in the new book Agaves: Species, Cultivars & Hybrids by Jeremy Spath and Jeff Moore. The picture on this page is from Jeremy Spath's website at Hidden Agave.
