Removing the Pups from their Mother Agave Quadracolor

Tis the season to dig in! I have found that the best way to remove baby succulents from a poky mother plant is to first dig up the plant. Once you’ve done that, you can easily remove the runners. Make sure to wear gloves!

“You’re all on the edge of your seat aren’t ya.” 😂😂😂😂🤪 That tickled me!

[@ramonamacabugao4836]

There’s some other runners behind the Fred Ives.

[@jtidema]

Right... just saw that! ;-)

[@FernandoLopez-wk3dh]

Your agaves have grown significantly bigger and everything is just lush and vibrant. Hope you do a walkabout Wednesday😁✨

[@lindalopez4381]

I got myself busy last week love this weather

[@CaraLudick]

Also shout out to Hannah for being such a patient videographer and hint lady!

[@beverlyasleson3321]

That’s good news on hubby. ❤️ Lots of pups on that beautiful plant, it looks great now.

[@mimmys6107]

I enjoy all of your videos, but you in your own backyard are my favourite ☺️

[@bobbiechinn9578]

Well...thumbs up just for Greg right now!!! God is good!

[@CaraLudick]

LOVE VIDEOS LIKE THIS!! So happy for Greg too.

[@robertbrewer2190]

great news about Greg's continuing health. Succulent tips are also great!

[@dianearmoogan3326]

Maybe a day in this week I'll do some potting because I to repot some of my succulents and cacti and start bringing the ones I have outside inside since I live in a colder state than California

[@brielgo]

Toda una azaña el lograr separar todos eso hijuelos de la madre. Estaban tan bien sujetos que ha resultado bastante difícil. Un nuevo logro y un nuevo aprendizaje que nos muestra. Mil gracias😀👍🏽👏🏽

[@jacdavis9]

Enjoyed every second! Watching you talk through your work is the most rewarding, and informative. Love it.

[@ramonamacabugao4836]

Laura, there’s still some runners behind the Fred Ives.

[@BobiJadue]

HAHA I was going to say the same

[@lvndelgado]

I saw that too.😀

[@dcharrison]

Man! I wish I was there. I would take them off your hands! Cincinnati Ohio

[@dcharrison]

I’m willing to pay shipping. Lol

[@ArthurGrey.]

So happy to hear about Greg! As someone living with a heart condition, there's quite the uncertainty that goes along with it. But hearing that there's an improvement is always worth a celebration!

[@gaylepayne3327]

Terrific news about Greg! So happy for you all. Mother agave doesn't want to let the umbilical be cut to her pups.

[@chrismc1975]

Fab news about Greg!! And she's a beauty your quad! I would love to find one here in Australia.. Your crested Fred.. Uggh 😍😍😍 gorgeous

[@legendarymayormarylikestur8874]

Yeah Greg!!!! ❤❤❤❤ Laura you give me such inspiration while I build my gardens!

[@helenperalta3555]

So happy to hear the good news about Greg. Will keep praying 🙏🏼 for him and you all. By the way, removing the pups was nail biting and invigorating. So speaking for myself I would have not been bored one bit watching you remove it and reset!

[@djftex]

That's one tough plant! Love that Greg is even tougher! So happy for y'alls good news!

[@eshelovesdogs]

Yay Greg! Such awesome news!

[@mvs4880]

So happy to hear about Greg! Have fun celebrating your beautiful family, thank you for sharing it with us

[@patriciaaraya4222]

Great news for your family!!!

[@andreakessler227]

Every time I have to redo a pot or move a plant I go back to one of your videos for tips. I've been gardening for many years but i always benefit from your Walk About Wednesday shows.I have watched some of your shows over and over.(short attention span)and enjoyed them each time. I often wonder if ;you realize how much information you pass on in each Wednesday show.You have been a great benefit to me and I sure appreciate the time and effort you put into these shows. Thanks for making gardening so full of adventure!

[@denisehowie3716]

Perfect timing, Laura. Quadricolor pup removal was on today’s todo list. I remember when I didn’t think my quadricolor agaves were ever going to pup! Yikes they are puping all over the place. So happy to hear Greg’s good news.

[@amybottegal6207]

i could watch you all day! :)

[@LindenRanch]

We love our quad and always have a couple ready for gifting.

[@navdeepsingh-pk5qk]

cute laura from where you bought that silver yellow big plant?😘😘

[@eloina17]

Im always repotting something when im watching your vids it makes me feels good💪

[@ChrisstinaMorgan]

I adore how you are choosing the best suiting plant for spot from first go. I can put back and forward a dosen of plants for 1 spot a dosen of times:))))

[@jtidema]

At 13:48, are those two more pups by the post? I really need a winter place by you - I can't grow any of this in New Jersey unless it's indoors!

[@amyjones2490]

I brought my succulent bowls inside last week.

[@maxinemann2490]

Did I see a couple more agave variegata behind the bloodspot? Just how many pups did that mama have?

[@tomdolgin5441]

There was another pup you missed that was hiding at the end of the video when you were replanting the neon succulents.

[@christmassnow3465]

Do you sift the sand to keep the stone mulch on top or do you just add new stone mulch? What would happen if you keep the old mulch mixed with the soil?

[@JDPewPewPew]

Just FYI, there's more pups of that agave kind of behind the arrangement, if you wanna grab them before they grow bigger! I see 2 maybe more

[@kathyormiston3731]

What kind of gloves do you were for this job?

[@marthahernandez191]

Good for you.Greg 👍 Pssst..some of those pops are still there..lol

[@vickiesorenson2385]

Just curious how many pups does this produce in a year?

[@Thejakefaul]

If you go back to 10:45 there’s still more pups by the post ! Lol don’t forget those

[@SanIgnacioBCS]

Two pups of the Agave tricolor are hiding there by the post, saying 'ho ho!'

[@bodyrot2794]

Pulling pups off is one of the most satisfying feelings there is in my book.

[@Highvibes777]

OMG ..I would love that issue!!

[@sarahthomson8183]

My echeveria's always end up shrinking to tiny plants or just stubs. What am I doing wrong?

[@graffic13]

But there's like 3 babies left in the back🤣🤣

[@KevinLopez-vf1wk]

So happy for you and for the both of your lives. ❤

[@FloresG998]

If my agave blue glow’s leaves are curving towards the sun, could I rotate it 180 degrees right now?

[@LauraEubanks]

Yes!

[@caroct134]

Love the results… I’m in Chula Vista too, you’ve been to my house to drop off a cap I purchased LOL. I DO love this. Time to get in there and clean my garden for fall and winter is coming :)

[@charlesuvari9792]

i love your hands on explanation

[@GardenT8]

So nice to hear the great news about Mr Greg. I love the quadricolors and all the pups. Momma quad looks beautiful without all that baggage around her..hahaha The three agaves look amazing. Nice to see Bentley, the gentle giant!!!

[@debmccleary9857]

Is it possible to grow one in a pot ?😉

[@breakingburque2200]

That is a beautiful and prolific plant. I have a basic blue variety and they send out more pups than they grow in a year.

[@gloriayoung392]

Operation👍

[@verlakingsley5907]

Thanks for all your helpful tips. Yesterday I planted a mounded planter with several succulents. It looks pretty good for my first try, thanks for showing me how to do it. Verla

[@cheribenson1597]

Thank you for this video. My baby Agave Quadracolor is just starting to pup. This information will come in handy in my future. Glad to hear the news on Greg is positive. It's spring here in Brisbane down under... lots of rain and heat coming.

[@helenat2446]

As someone who is excited just to get roots growing on a cutting, I for one am someone who would LOVE 37 agave pups!

[@juliamorales7023]

Glad to hear Greg's results came out good...Thanks for sharing that Awesome news!! ❤

[@NightlifeTyrant]

You’re So Awesome…

[@lalop123]

First thumbs up of day!

[@annbashir5888]

Will these agaves get a lot bigger. Love your pretty mushroom in the border. Did you make n paint it?

[@LauraEubanks]

Quadricolor maxes out at the size of this mama. The mushroom is Talavera.😊

[@annbashir5888]

@@LauraEubanks a nice size. I've had a couple of other agaves n they just got to big but this one is nice

[@Mr24812481]

i saw that spade bending and almost shouted STOP 😂

[@catherineengel4720]

A lot of work!

[@tuttib7500]

YAH Greg!

[@lovelyvillar22]

👍💙

[@dorindajenkins7825]

👋😃

[@jstamps9578]

Those 3 different agaves along that curve look incredible together. How many quadracolor pups did you get?

[@LauraEubanks]

Too many🤦‍♀️

[@pepperspot805]

Wow, posted 2 minutes ago!

[@sandrasullivan2636]

Really enjoy watching you in your garden. Maybe your daughter shouldn’t talk so much. She knows a lot She must have got that from you. It’s just nice to listen to you
