AGAVE CORING: Forcing pupping for asexual reproduction

Today, Brandon the agave nerd joins us for a demonstration on how to force pupping by coring an agave. Why do we want to decapitate these expensive and rare plants? In order to propagate and proliferate their genetics! This technique is used to asexually reproduce agaves in order to keep desired traits.

🤯🤯 never seen this done before- my anxiety spiked big time!!!😵‍💫 I would not have the courage

[@careyjohnston4176]

So very helpful information. I just subscribed. I think more gardener's are looking for innovative ideas to showcase talents and knowing how propagation works for less common plants keeps interest. 😊

Thank you so much for sharing this.

You should mention, being poked by this plant is extremely painful, I'm not sure if it has any toxins in it but it doesn't feel good from experience

[@leopillay8939]

Is there an update

[@ross1972]

Didnt it already have offsets? I guess I would lose the plant to rot, cutting it in half here in the south of New Zealand even with the sulphur. I guess I would still try haha just for the fun of it. As you said on a cheaper Agave. Victoria reginae are like 20 usd here, even the normal variety.

Rest assured it was rescued and is in my greenhouse

This is horticulture basics, not botany basics.
