It is a very symmetrical plant with straight leaves that looks a bit like Agave filifera, perhaps having slightly wider leaves than A. filifera, but stay mostly solitary or suckers slowly but steadily. While the A. filifera branches prolifically. Some populations of Agave schidigera have slightly curved leaves that detract from the symmetry.
