In this video I share tips for taking care of Agaves including: watering, soil, propagation and temperature for agave plants.
I also shared update on my agave collection including: Agave Americana Variegata, Agave Funkiana or Fatal Attraction, Agave White Thread of Cascade, Agave Macroacantha and Agave quadricolor.

There’s regular gigantic blue agave americana in my area planted outdoors that have survived 0f outdoors. I’m in zone 8a in the southeast us and we get cold rainy weather for multiple weeks and it doesn’t bother them at all. People plant them not realizing just how big they actually get and it takes over the yard lol

[@succulentlivingbymarija8872]

Vin Soriano we had blue large agave outside here in Michigan and it became mushy from all the snow and cold. You are correct they do get so large 😊

[@zoeydeu2261]

If we cut off the bloom stalk early when it's still short, will that prevent the agave from dying?

[@succulentlivingbymarija8872]

I don’t think so… I think it will die but it will give you a lot of babies as it is duying

[@zoeydeu2261]

@@succulentlivingbymarija8872 thank you :)

[@asianangie7209]

Can I clip the needles without doing damage to the plant? Will the needles grow back?

[@succulentlivingbymarija8872]

Needles will never go back but the plant will live. Some people cut them so they are not as pokey but I think it looses on beauty without those tips

[@navdeepsingh-pk5qk]

@@succulentlivingbymarija8872 yes marija is right,real beauty of agave which attracts me is those thorns on tips 😊

[@navdeepsingh-pk5qk]

Marija I have a question,I have bought agave desmettiana,it's very big plant I think 2 feet high,nursery guys already pruned cut it's lower leaves,my question is if I prune it's poor little bit and burry its cuts deep,will it grow?

[@succulentlivingbymarija8872]

That’s a great question and I think I’ll make video about it this weekend 😊

[@navdeepsingh-pk5qk]

@@succulentlivingbymarija8872 ok nice women I will wait 😘😘😘

[@helensosa3791]

Hi, thank you for your video, can you explain better about the "Burn"?, I have an agave slow grower, I don't know the exact name but one of the leaf has a burn spot, soft brown color and another leaf is breaking in the side with also a burn mark, thank you for your help.

[@succulentlivingbymarija8872]

It’s just unsightly but it’s not going to kill plant and you can leave it as it is. You can remove it if it bothers you 😊. I usually wait for the plant to grow more leaves and then I remove it.

[@helensosa3791]

@@succulentlivingbymarija8872 thank you for your input, I appreciate your experience and kindness ❤️🥰💐cannot wait for your next video. 🤓

[@_Millies]

I've been wondering, is it okay to trim the pointy edges?

[@succulentlivingbymarija8872]

They are decorative parts of the plant so it would be shame to cut them 😊 but you can... they won’t die if you do... Once I worked with a volunteer in a conservatory that I told to cut yellow brown ends in agaves, meaning dry ends and he cut off all the tips on big agave plants 😄... they all survived and grew new leaves... he felt so bad when he found out what he did

[@navdeepsingh-pk5qk]

Marija you kept them indoor?,I'm going to buy now lopantha super white and Victoria Regina,where to place them?

[@succulentlivingbymarija8872]

I keep them outside from May till October because they live a lot of light, but they can survive inside.

[@navdeepsingh-pk5qk]

@@succulentlivingbymarija8872 good,marija you tell me beautiful small agave variety I'm confused which one to buy,you told macrocantha but it can be kept indoor and how big it is,titonota is cute or potatorium? In India very less varieties available at nursery even online too less available

[@nopesalamandra9144]

If an entire leaf at the base is brown/dried out, what is the best way to remove it?

[@succulentlivingbymarija8872]

Just cut it off as close to the base with something wide and sharp enough, agave leafs can be hard to cut through

Marija I'm going to buy macrocantha because you told me it looks more cute,can you tell me what is actual color of your macrocantha leaves and thorns color?

Just like on this picture, bluish leaves and dark red brown tips

[@shanaeamber7674]

how often do you water your agaves? i recently got one.

[@succulentlivingbymarija8872]

Once a week, but sometimes in neglect them few weeks 😄

[@shanaeamber7674]

thank you so much, your video was very helpful as well 🙂

[@navdeepsingh-pk5qk]

According to you which of them looks most beautiful agave?

[@succulentlivingbymarija8872]

I really love macroacantha, but it is hard to decide 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@navdeepsingh-pk5qk]

@@succulentlivingbymarija8872 but macrocantha will spread alot and if we put pot on terrace,it will look good from road passer-by? You tell me how mediopta Alba look good or not?

[@succulentlivingbymarija8872]

@@navdeepsingh-pk5qk it just depends what you like 😊, there is no wrong choice, if you keep them in a medium pot they may not grow as large for awhile.
