The sotol plant can grow between 1.80 and 3 meters tall. It has a thick base on its stem, with white flowers that grow in clusters. The leaves are loose, light green, and have tooth-like edges.

In its natural habitat, sotol helps conserve soil and provides shelter and food for local wildlife, even though it is often grown as an indoor plant.

Sotol is valued for its ornamental use and landscaping. It is found in the states of Oaxaca and Puebla at altitudes between 800 and 900 meters. Because its curved trunk and long leaves look like a drunk person, it is sometimes called "the drunkard" in certain regions.
