In Part 1 of 3 of today's episode we prepare a new location for the massive striated Agave Weberi
Thank you for stopping by and welcome to my new channel where I explore my dry garden cultivars including agaves, cactus and other succulents. This is Part 1 of 3 where on today's episode, I'll be removing both an Agave Salmiana Ferox and a large Agave Guiengola to make room for an extra large striated Agave Weberi. The variegated Weberi has outgrown its temporary location outside the fence and now it's time to move. The Agave Guiengola has not done well in this region so it's time to replace it with something that will flourish. I love working with these beautiful plants, I hope you enjoy the video!

    I have a Guingola, but here in NZ it seems to do pretty well. Although I read that it likes a little shade and mine looks a little sun damaged. Not bad enough for me to shift it though. Thanks, and have a great day.

      I certainly will give some greenhouse tours. I'm still trying to figure out the logistics as I'm getting ready to remove the summer shade cloth and install the winter covering. I'll likely start with that video and go from there. The lighting is better with the winter covering.

    It's not a critism, and it doesn't bother me okay, just an observation with regards to audio: when you speak it only plays through my right ear bud, and when the music plays at the end, I hear it through right and left.

      Thank you! I just noticed that yesterday too. For my commercial work, I typically use headphones but for these videos, I usually use my speakers so I haven't noticed it until now. My camera is not recording in stereo so I'll have to edit the audio in post for future videos and will start using headphones again so that I remember to fix it. Thanks for your comment.

    Very informative! I have a Butterfly Agave Potatorum blooming. How do you collect the seeds? Do you chop the stem and shake the seeds off? lol

    • @mr_agave
      @mr_agave 12 дней назад

      Ooh that's a good one to have bloom. The agaves I've had so far have had large seeds and they don't come off the bloom stem until they're ready. Once you see that they start falling off to the ground, you can start to collect them and they'll pull off easily or shake off.

  • @cookiemon4614

      Thanks. I follow a few people from the UK on Instagram and I was surprised to see their huge dry gardens with tons of agaves. There's another guy on Facebook who posts in a rock garden group who's in Chicago and his yard looks like mine! I've reached out to him asking how he does it as Chicago is buried in snow for half the year but he hasn't responded. I think you could plant Blue Flames and Agave Mitis (my next video) there without many problems. Maybe Attenuetta as well. I haven't looked too much into those climates but some would thrive including some mangaves I think.

    I use my old soft bristle toothbrushes. I really don’t seem to have much of a mealy bug issue on my Agaves - but I do get infestations on lots of my other succulents .I have read that ants will actually physically move the pests around

    • @mr_agave
      @mr_agave 14 дней назад

      Ants definitely do that. I've seen them carry mealy bugs from badly infected plants to neighboring plants that rarely attract pests

  • @GreenGranny
    @GreenGranny 17 дней назад

    I've never seen mealy bugs, but it's good to know what to do if this happens. Dawn soap is good for a lot of pests, like white flies and aphids and probably other bugs as well.

    Have you ever thought to use coffee filters to screen drainage holes? I like to use them in my pots because by the time they decompose, they soil and inorganics have sort of situated as to not run out the drainage holes... Plus, they are inexpensive and easy to fit in any pot. I've been really loving pumice in my mix. It's nice because it keeps my pots nice and light.

Although l wouldn't try it with some tree aloes.😊😊
