Furcraea cabuya, commonly known as Cabuya, is an evergreen succulent plant native to dry forests and rocky areas in Southeastern Mexico to Venezuela. It typically grows to a height and width of 5-6 feet (1.5-1.8 meters), forming a rosette of long, fibrous leaves that are often used for making ropes and textiles. The plant produces a tall flower stalk with greenish-yellow flowers in the summer, which are moderately showy and attract pollinators. After flowering, the plant may produce bulbils that can be used for propagation.

Cabuya is valued for its drought tolerance and architectural form, making it suitable for xeriscaping and as an accent plant in water-conserving gardens. It is also used for fiber production in its native range. In cultivation, it requires minimal care, thriving in full sun and well-draining soils. While it tolerates a range of water conditions, it prefers drier conditions once established. Potential problems include root rot if overwatered and mealybugs or scale insects. It is not known to be invasive when grown outside its native range, but gardeners should always monitor for unexpected spread.CC BY-SA 4.0
