omg this is the best agave video! I usually watch KZbin videos with x2 speed but I had to slow this down to admire the pictures. well made👏👏👏

I need to get rid of my agave century plants! They are spreading and taking over! I like unusual plants but definitely planted this in the wrong place!

Awesome video. Watch out for those terminal spines, everybody.

[@helenkotowske3829]

We have 3 clumps of Agave Americana. Once it has pups it is a lot of maintenence. A local couple who were starting a succulent business pruned out some pups. There were Black Widow Spiders hiding underneath!

[@leeannmansfield5254]

DREAM to have these outside my house.

[@punanamousme8486]

I'm in Maryland. Would love a tropical garden. Not sure if they'd survive our snow. Will visit your site and schedule a consult. Actually, I'm here visiting California. May drop by..thanks

I bought 2 Agave Desert Escape last year at Walmart, $20 each, 20" tall+/-. Both are setting flowers this year. I was excited unt8l I read it's going to die! Can I remove the flower to delay death until the pups can grow more? Each has 1-2 little pups.😢

[@BudgetPlants]

Desert Escape Agaves are beautiful! Unfortunately removing the blooms will not really delay the plant dying. It’s kind of like it’s internal clock. Just harvest any pups you can off the base. You may also be able to harvest pops off the bloom stalk. Good luck!

[@daisyadair1164]

I’m just be home agave journey. This video was awesome! I have to say the Artichoke Agave was my favorite!

[@BudgetPlants]

Thanks for watchin! Yeah love the Artichoke. Fantastic color and texture. Check out Agave Sharkskin. Another of my personal favs. Just hard to find.

[@TheSassyShirl]

It is so good to watch a clip full of info. One where I don’t have to have my thumb glued to the FF button to cut out the senseless chatter. Thank you really enjoyed watching.

Ahhhh thanks so much for the encouraging comment. Makes me want to keep makin em! 😎😎🙏🏼

[@vernonwilson2068]

Are there any non monocarpic varieties that don’t take as long to bloom or bloom more than once?

[@BudgetPlants]

There is a subspecies of Agave striata called falcata that has been reported to be polycarpic. I personally don’t have experience with it.

[@VelvetandToads]

I’m always so excited to see a new video pop up, and now more than ever as I just bought a house with a blank slate of a landscape, except for a canary date palm and... a huge century plant. May I suggest two videos? One on the different types of ceonathus and their uses, and another on ceanothus vs plumbago, as it seems to me they have a lot of similarities despite their different origins. Thanks for all you do!

[@BudgetPlants]

Congrats on the new home purchase! And thank you so much for the kind words… Incredibly encouraging, and very much appreciated. Will absolutely take your video suggestions into consideration. I’m always thinking about relevant topics and Ceanothus would be fantastic. Thank you so much for watching the videos… And have fun designing your new landscape!

[@orlandolanda4144]

Just common sense they all or mostly all have terminal spine.

[@claudiahowell9508]

Love the info, especially the low tolerance. I am in Northern Ca, Chico in a canyon and we do go down to the high 20’s in the winter and I have lost a few of my new plants. 😢 expensive and frustrating.

[@ausarge]

Do you cut the flowering stalks down if they get too high?

[@BudgetPlants]

Yes… These are monocarpic, so once the flower stock dies off you can cut them back.

[@catrejo7907]

I was going to pick up some Americana pups but now I’m not lol I really want the artichoke agave now!!

[@chipset2900]

Thanks that's a good one. Tell us what to do when they're too big, and when...

[@BudgetPlants]

Thanks for watchin! So if an Agave gets to big for its intended space, there’s a couple things you can do. The first thing would be to transplant it to a larger space. However, transplanting agaves is not an easy task as they are kinda hard to manage. If the transplanting option won’t work, I suggest trimming off the bottom layers of the leaves so it’s more upright and vase-shaped. with that said, if it’s in a spot that poses a threat to people as they walk by because of the spine, I would just suggest to remove it and plant either a smaller non-threatening agave, or something completely different.

[@pattyweidner9995]

[@claranillesartist9642]

Whale tongue agave?? They are one of the most beautiful jumbo agave out there....

Yessss!! I love those 🙌😎

[@lisadabbs2181]

I agree with you about agave Blue Glow. It's my favorite because it doesn't produce any pups.

[@serenayflamenca]

Do any agave withstand -10F? Dallas Tx suburbs.

Agave havardiana can take down to -20 f!

I have many Agave angustifolia Marginata - Caribbean Agave and one is starting to spike. They do propagate and spread. I notice some of my neighbors have now planted them. They are very showy but have to be careful because they are spiny .

The timing haha. I bought 3 Agaves today. The big ones are so expensive so I just got 1 gal. I’m in S. Texas and don’t see many varieties at all.

[@FontaineDerby]

In the UK, Agave americana and Agave parryi are the only two varieties that are winter hardy with good drainage. Some sources say that they can as low as -9C before suffering damage. I am on the South Coast in the UK and several neighbours have them growing in their front gardens. One has a span of over 10 feet. We get regular frosts and mine are outside in a pot all winter.

Hey! I’m not super familiar with it. I’ve only seen a couple of them here in So Cal. It’s considered a tropical or sun tropical Florida native. I’m not sure about how well it may do elsewhere.

A small Victoria and a similar white stripe Schidigera. I just got small agave xylonacantha pup. Aloes are amazing. I think the Blue Glow you featured will also look grea, and wont get too big for my smaller garden areas. Thankyou, I will avoid some of those bigger beauties. Cacti and Aloes thrive in our Australian sun.
