Great video Joe!!! I have a handful of these myself!! Yes, as a kid I remember one agave behind a friend's house that produced the bulbs. I was amazed at these ready to go plants!!! Just set and grow!!! U like my agaves because they are tough and I can store them under benches and other plants for the winter. Then I just put them out under our mimosa tree and they do great!! Yes you are right. If you want to keep them smaller, keep them in a smaller pot. Yes the asparagaceae is another interesting group. Other succulents related also!!! Thanks for sharing joe!Joe!! From Morris Park in the Ozarks, out to Bavaria, Germany 🇩🇪 have a wonderful day!!! Peace, Love, Plants!!!!✌️💖🌵🌿🌻🌷🌷🌹🌾🌸🌴🌱🍀💐🌳🏜😃👍 11:51
WOWSERS Joe :-D AWESOME video on Agave's and you have shared lots of amazing and detailed information on them and how to grow them, I really love Agave's and they really are incredible additions to a cactus collection, its so good that there are so many different varieties in size including the small growing compact ones to suit all growers, I overwinter mine in the polytunnel too, your Agave's really are BEAUTIFUL Joe, we really loved watching this wonderful and informative video on these awesome Agave stunners, thanks so much for sharing with us Joe, and Hans and I are sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle to Bavaria for a wonderful weekend XXXX
@@desertplantsofavalon hi Lyn, thanks so much, great to read that you enjoyed the video and also that you like growing Agave together wirh your cacti too! Yeah, agree with you, it's especially the compact-growing ones that are most suitable for us to be growing! Amazing how diverse this genus is! Thanks for watching and for your wonderful comments and friendship - sending you and Hans lot's of plant greetings across to the beautiful Emerald Isle, enjoy your Saturday evening and rest of the weekend! 🙌🙏👍☺️🪴🪴🪴😅☀️🙋♂️
Hi Joe! I love your Agave striata minima! While cactus can poke you, agaves can saw a nice gash in you! I have a couple Monacatha blue ribbons, a compact victoria reginae and an agave filifera that has very sharp ends. But like you, I've dedicated all the prime real estate to the cacti. Thanks for sharing your knowledge of agaves!
I live in the desert southwest of the US. Agave are my absolute favorite and I had a yard full of them. However, I lost the vast majority of them to the agave snout weevil. Keep an eye out!😢
Thanks so much Verlene, great to hear from you! Since my visit earlier in the year, I am a big fan of the flora & fauna of the Desert Southwest region of the U.S.! Fantastic to read that you can grow all your Agave outside in your yard, I wish I could do that too, haha! Sorry to hear about the Agave snout weevil destroying your plants, sounds terrible and really sad, indeed have read about it - as far as I know we don't have that one here yet. Thanks for watching and for your awesome comments! 🙌👍☺️🙏🪴🪴🪴💚☀️🙋♂️🏜🏜🏜
Thanks so much Ana, glad you liked the video, and also the Agave plants in my collection, much appreciated. Thanks for watching and as always for your awesome feedback and support Ana! Have a great week ahead! 🙌☺️👍🙏🪴🪴🪴💚☀️🙋♂️
I've got a few Agaves Joe 🙂 Well, I started off with a few and now I've got quite a few 😬 I drank a bottle of Tequila in 1982, woke up at 4am in the recovery position and when I got up I still couldn't walk 🙄 I bring mine into the tunnel over winter, although there are some large ones outside on the coast in Kent, we're on top of the North Downs where it gets a bit colder in the winter. Good video my friend, hope you have a lovely Saturday ☺☺🌵🌵
Hey Ziggy, great to hear you are growing quite a number of Agaves too. Ouch, indeed it's pretty potent stuff, Tequila is, and a whole bottle of it, not for the faint-hearted! Thanks for watching and glad you liked it my friend. Indeed I remember seeing quite a few places in southern and southwestern England where Agaves were succesfully being grown outside, also in the winters. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, happy Agave growing! 🪴🪴🪴🙌👍☺️🙏💚☀️🙋♂️
Aww, thank you so much Subhash, very kind of you to say that! I'm really happy to read that you are enjoying the videos, thank you and much appreciated! Kind regards to you in India, best wishes and happy growing of course! 🙏🙏🙏☺️👍🙌🪴🪴🪴💚☀️🙋♂️
Nice video Joe! Here in Italy you can find the Americana almost everywhere, easily on the rocks in front of the sea, and often in the gardens in its variegated form. I have a little collection with the americana variegata and the wild blue form, of course, and also Parryi, filifera schidigera, shaka zulu, toumeyana bella, potatorum shoji raijin, victoria reginae, lophanta quadricolor, attenuata. This last one, the swan neck agave, is a bit of an outsider in the group, being velvet leafed, pleasant to touch, and can get quite relevant dimensions, but it is so lovely... An absolute stunner which gives a tropical aspect to any garden. Guess what? I love agaves a lot! By the way, I would appreciate a similar video on the aloe genus, which I also love and grow. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great video! Agave brought me to this hobby. Now I'm more focused on cacti but I found that the types of cacti I like the most have a similar shape/rosette to agave. Ariocarpus, obregonia, strombocatus, tur.alonosoi ... So far, in my opinion, Agave white rhino is absolutely the most beautiful plant for me
Thank you Joe ~ a very helpful and informative video. You have a stunningly beautiful collection of Agaves! I leave a quite large Agave americana variegata in its pot in the garden over Winter here in London, as it's too big for indoors or my mini greenhouse. It survives with the loss of a few 'leaves' (which can freeze solid!), but recovers again in the Spring. The only thing I would add is keep the really sharp larger specimens out of reach of family pets. Great video :) .
Thank you, Joe!. Tomorrow I'll receive my first agave, a Victoriæ Reginæ variagata and there you are, you uploaded an agave video. After watching your video now I feel more confident to start growing these beautiful plants. In my country you find a lot of agaves growing as part of arid gardens, also they used the Blue Agave as perimeter fences, which is awesome too. Also, I remember when I climbed one of our volcanoes, watching a lot of agaves growing almost on the summit where it is so arid and cold. Cool thing, I think. Thank you again! Love your videos!
Haha, sounds like perfect timing! So happy that you found the video useful and informative! Wow, that must be so cool to see those Agaves growing high up on the volcanoes! Best of luck and success with your new Agave victoria-reginae f. variegata, congratulations those are truly beautiful plants! Thanks for watching and really fantastic that you are enjoying my videos, a warm thank you! Greetings from my little cactus & succulent greenhouse in southern Germany to you in El Salvador, very best wishes and happy growing of course! 🙏☺️👍🙌🪴🪴🪴💚☀️🙋♂️
Haha, totally agree with you, they are indeed such cool and wonderful plants! Thanks for watching and so happy that you are enjoying the videos, awesome feedback, truly appreciated! 🙏🙏🙏☺️👍🙌🪴🪴🪴💚☀️🙋♂️
Thanks for all the information. Lovely to se that I have some, that you also have in your collection. I did't know they can grow pups at the flower heads. Thanks again, and happy growing. 🌵🌵🌵
Many thanks Palle, glad you found the video informative. Haha, indeed those little Agave plantlets (basically vegetative clones like root pups, just loads of them at the same time!) are quite a special feature and not so frequently seen. Thanks for watching and commenting. Enjoy your Saturday evening and also a relaxing Sunday, happy growing / dormancy! 🙌👍🙏☺️🪴🪴🪴💚☀️🙋♂️
Thanks for this very interesting and informative video! It really is fascinating with which ways nature came up with when it comes to propagating and ensuring the forth-living of the plants. I do not have plants of this genus in my collection (yet) but we in fact use them in some of the ornamental beds in Wilhelmshöhe as "center parts". What we also cultivate in our nursery are the well-known Euphorbia pulcherrimas (Poinsettias). They are displayed in the warm house compartment of the Schaugewächshaus and we have in fact some specimens that have already reached a considerable size and age. To be honest, it is pretty sad that most people just throw them away after the flowering period without even trying to cultivate them perennially. I have recently taken a young specimen home from our nursery and will of course try to cultivate it further after its flowering by giving it a kind of dormancy period in Spring without watering and then repotting it und pruning it back. By the way: Congratulations for surpassing the milestone of 4000 subscribers, well deserved! :)
Hi Jacob, excellent to read your wonderful comments and updates, always so nice to hear back from you! Glad you found the video informative and interesting! Haha, I had to chuckle when I read your comments about E. pulcherima - you are completely correct with your observations, 99% of them are simply thrown away, unfortunately. So it's brilliant to read about you growing them after their blooms. Indeed, they can be "reset" again for the following season, triggered by less light and cooler temperatures. That's how the horticulturalists do it too. Thanks again for all your interesting and kind comments and wishing you a wonderful Saturday evening and relaxing Sunday! 🙏☺️👍🙌🪴🪴🪴💚☀️🙋♂️

maybe planning to feature aloe in the future?🍀
Possibly. Would like to see the level of interest for this one first. So far somewhat limited it seems. Thanks for your interest and suggestion.
I’d also like to see a video of yours about Aloes! 🤗
