I absolutely love your Agave plants , anyhow going to Garden Cntre to look for one , great video and thank you .

[@QueenofSucculents]

Thank you Maya! I do wish these were more common in nurseries.

[@QueenofSucculents]

Aargh! There's a typo in the very first frame...I left out the "e." To correct it, I'd have to delete and repost the video, which means I'd lose all the annotations and have to do the closed captions again. ;+(

Thanks so much for sharing all the info on Agave guiengola , it looks such a STUNNING Agave, sending much love and happy growing from Ireland XXXX

So lovely Agave..

[@suejones4635]

That is very interesting. I feel concerned when people position sharp pointed plants near our suburban sidewalks. This is a beautiful plant and makes excellent focal points in a sea of Bougainvilla.

[@LohanPalm]

Que linda❤❤

[@alanvines2006]

Any more recent luck on clones?

[@danyarellano4535]

What about the soil?

[@QueenofSucculents]

Hi Dany, apologies for the delay in responding. Coarse, well-draining soil is best. Learn more in my video, Soil for Succulents kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2fEc52Cr92GiLc.

[@michelel1852]

Thank you Debra I was afraid of that.

[@porntawanpimhem7506]

How can l do? Need to grow them.

[@teamchill5825]

I just bought an agave, but I am not confident it is guiengola.

[@QueenofSucculents]

It’s hard to tell when they’re small.

[@michelel1852]

Is this plant cold hardy? What zones does it grow Debra?

[@QueenofSucculents]

According to San Marcos Growers (the best website for accurate info about specific succulents), it'll survive temps down to 20 degrees F, but "Protect from temperatures below 25 degrees F to avoid disfiguring the foliage." The fact that it grows happily with bougainvillea indicates that it's a fair-weather plant; for me, bougainvillea is the canary in the mineshaft when it comes to frost, i.e. where it thrives, there isn't any. So, I'd say Zones 9 and 10.

I’ve seen the varigated guingola Get its leaves beat in the cold of Northern California if not protected

[@vicentecalandrini6173]

this street is so so so btful...can u make a video showing dtls..pls

[@QueenofSucculents]

Hi Vincente -- Sorry, no. Too many plant poachers out there, unfortunately.

[@vicentecalandrini6173]

+Debra Lee Baldwin i didnt understand what poachers mean, so google translate told me that it means that there are bad people that take ur things... so this is danger right....thats ok dont worry,thanks

[@RinglerLandscape]

Cant find anyone who sells it :( - Edit- Ill trade 15 Agave Attenuata for one :)

[@QueenofSucculents]

I know. When Kelly and I made this video, we assumed the supply would meet the demand it created...and it hasn't. Very frustrating.

A great share/link from www.DebraLeeBaldwin.com ('s) e-newsletter sign-up feature. I have a small one given to me in a pot. It's pupping galore; thus ready to divide & pot up -Now. After viewing this video I see that ours is still in a juvenile state. I have new plans for these specimens to go in the ground late Oct. (After the summer heat) where it'll have adequate space, and be showcased most appropriately. Thank You!
