Thanks for great video. I have just picked up an A. americana leaf whch had been knocked off a roadside planted plant here in Plymouth. It was growing on a warm, dryish, south-facing bank. I had the same thought as you. Could I get a leaf cutting to root? Looking forward to seeing the result of your experiment.

Well they're looking a bit grim but I'm not quitting yet. They may still surprise us. Will update soon. Mark

[@joybaisden6277]

Any update? I heard that leaf has to have a bulb part at the bottom for it to propagate.

[@MarksHouseandGardenUK]

Hi joy. They all failed sadly. And I believe you are correct about the basal part. And even then it's hit and miss. Thanks for asking 🙏

Taking leaf cuttings from an other succulent, snake plants after 18 months I have a few tiny little baby plants 😅 barely an inch tall 😂 I think they prefer if we take the little shootings from the mother plant. Good luck with your leaf cuttings!! 🤞🏼

I’ve seen this with smaller agave but not with Americana! Doesn’t hurt to try. I have many different agave planted in our landscaping including Americana variegata here in Phoenix AZ. You’ll eventually get pups from your mother plant as long as it gets enough sun and isn’t overwatered. However I have noticed the Americana var. doesn’t pups as frequently as other species. Best of luck!

Thank you for this advice really appreciate it. Mark

Did it work? I can't seem to find the update video.

[@MarksHouseandGardenUK]

Hi there. Still waiting but not hopeful. My red bananas took six weeks so I'll give these a little longer. Mark

[@dad5draco]

@@MarksHouseandGardenUK Thanks for the update. I hope they show any progress in the future.

@@MarksHouseandGardenUK Hey there. It’s a month since that update. Anything? I was curious about this experiment.

[@higherrating2195]

I can't either 😢

[@dishapandey8771]

What's the update ? I don't think it will work. Agave - u can propagate through baby pups. Never heard of leaf propagation.

[@MarksHouseandGardenUK]

you are correct, it failed. mark

[@jasonjancso3221]

good informative video.i have a metre wide agave blue..will it tolerate frost..its currently wrapped up since october

[@MarksHouseandGardenUK]

Hi. I believe they will tolerate frost so long as they are not wet. They are ok with cold. But not cold with wet. Mark

[@yesidtac7863]

Buenos tip

[@MarksHouseandGardenUK]

Thank you 😊

[@Nodespair]

I hope it works! If so, I’ll try it as well.

[@MarksHouseandGardenUK]

stay tuned and I'll keep you updated. Fingers crossed! Mark

[@taylork2874]

Did they propagate?

[@MarksHouseandGardenUK]

Hi there. They don't look too good but I'm not giving up yet. I think it's a long shot though lol

[@taylork2874]

@@MarksHouseandGardenUK Any difference between the calloused and non-calloused ones?🤞
