Hey, so I need a little advice. Just got an Agave Americana Variegeta or a “century plant”, would he do well with a grow light, since my room is part sun?

Most likely, I have a couple yuccas and they live in pots outside, I'm in the pnw so sunny isn't always a likely thing lol

I have found that almost all of my plants enjoy having plant lights, and I’m sure your agave would love one. I find that these lights not only help my plants grow faster, but it makes their colors more brilliant, so I would vote for a plant light!
