GROWING beautiful AGAVE succulents with my cacti: how, which, why? #agave #agaveplant #succulentcare

I absolutely love growing beautiful, decorative Agave succulents together with my cacti! They are simply amazing and eye-catching, stunning beauties in my cactus and succulent greenhouse. Did you know that there are quite small, even miniature-sized specied that can easily be grown in small spaces? Did you know that some of them have been grown and harvested by humans for over 10,000 years? Did you know that they originally have come from a relatively limited area in the central Americas (including southern USA), but today have spread across the globe in adequate climates? And perhaps most surprising, did you know that they are members of the Asparagaceae family of plants, i.e. are relatively closely related to the asparagus that is served as a delicacy? These are the topics and chapters that I am covering in this video: 2:34 A few interesting fun facts about Agave plants first 5:21 Why the popular name 'Century Plants'? 6:41 How do Agaves propagate in nature? 9:12 Why are Agaves succulent plants? 10:08 How do I grow and cultivate my Agave plants? 13:10 And what about the winter months? 16:17 How many are there and how large do they get? 18:47 Are there Agaves suitable for growing in small spaces? 21:52 Caution, please handle with care! 24:42 A few more Agaves that I grow in my plant collection 25:59 Wrap-up I hope you enjoy this video and I hope you enjoy these awesome plants as much as I do!
