Thank you so much Debra for this video on propagation. I do have pups growing on my agaves. Some are growing from the bottom of the nursery pot they are in. Others are shooting out from agaves in large ceramic potters. Now I know they are trying to tell me that they would like to leave home and try it on their own. So I will try to follow your instructions for removing them, and help them get a place of their own. I love your sentiments of listening to your plants. They really are trying to tell us something. After viewing your video, I will now be more observative of my other succulent plants. You are such a blessing and an absolute jewel when it comes to this beautiful world of growing and caring for succulents. Thanks so much for wanting to share this knowledge with us. Big hugs.
Big hug to you too! Thank you for a jewel of a comment. Love your description of pups "shooting out from agaves." Exactly. In slow motion, maybe, but that's just what they're doing. 😆
There is a vacant building near my dad's home. The perimeter has about 8 Agave Americana that were planted. There are currently at least three dozen pups. The business closed about five months ago, and the plants have not been maintained, so they are growing like crazy!! I enjoyed this video. Thank you 😊
Thank you, Mary Ellen. I credit my training as a journalist. I try to anticipate potential questions and answer them. Plus it's truly a joy to share all I've learned since 2005---when I was researching, shooting and writing the first edition of Designing with Succulents. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
Hi Steve -- Thank you! Yes, I have tens of thousands of photos catalogued by year, location and topic. I supplement them with new photos as needed for a new page or video, but basically I'm glad my motto---dating back to when I began doing books and articles on succulents (in 2005)--- was "If it's beautiful, shoot it." I do need more photos of yucky stuff though, LOL.
I am so glad I found you! I used some of your info in a paper I had to write for ASU. I’m trying to spread word about using succulents for fire mitigation and I stumbled upon your website and channel! This information needs to get out, as California is number one in the country for wildfires and I believe we can lower the number of occurrences just by planting succulents in hillsides prone to fires and have invasive grasses and brush
Thank you for all you have shared with us. I have learned so much from your website, books and videos. I had to laugh at the beginning regarding you may be delighted or dismayed. I resemble that remark. Thanks Again for all you share.

Depends on the type of plant, the time of year and where you keep them prior to planting. In general, try to plant cuttings within 2-3 weeks. However...I ran across a pile of Senecio mandraliscae trimmings from a fall pruning, three months later. They were etiolated (stretched from not getting enough sun, having been under my potting table) but they were still viable, and had even sent roots into thin air. Consider, though, that those cuttings were several inches long with half-inch stems. Smaller ones don't have as much tissue to draw on. Expect larger ones (like sections of columnar or paddle cacti) to go six months or more.

Thank you! A bunch of succulents were left behind here by previous folks so I am slowly building my succulent army as I learn more and more ways!
Be sure to watch Laura Eubanks' videos too!
GREAT video! Packed full of wonderful info, tips and photos! ❤
Thank you Marci!!

I enjoyed this video. Thank you 😊
Hi Nicole, sometimes I think century plants (Agave americana) wait for property owners to look the other way, and then start reproducing like rabbits.
Debra, love your videos, so informative and inspiring!❤😊
Wow, thank you Christine! I really appreciate it.

Thank you Catherine. Yes, plants have their own agenda. If it dovetails with ours, great. If not hopefully we can get them under control!

How long can the cuttings of succulents last before they're not good anymore to replant?
Depends on the type of plant, the time of year and where you keep them prior to planting. In general, try to plant cuttings within 2-3 weeks. However...I ran across a pile of Senecio mandraliscae trimmings from a fall pruning, three months later.

smart conversationalists these succulents! hehehe
They just need a translator, LOL.
Can you please 🙏 recommend a good place to buy rare agave seeds online ?
This is beyond the scope of my knowledge, but I suppose you could try hiddenagave.com or one of the Agave groups on Facebook.
