In today's episode we extract a beautiful Striated Americana and relocate it to a new yard location
Thank you for stopping by and welcome to my new channel where I explore my dry garden cultivars including agaves, cactus and other succulents. In today's episode, we remove a beautiful striated agave Americana and relocate it to a new location outside of the fence in the yard. We also removed some of the pups around the plant and we'll save those to pot for another video. I love working with these beautiful plants, I hope you enjoy the video!
Whether you're a seasoned horticulturist or an agave hobbyist like me or just a little curious about these awesome plants, I hope to be able to offer a little bit of something for everyone.

  • @JR_Villablanca-de-Mendoza
    @JR_Villablanca-de-Mendoza 11 годин тому

    I had thought that I shouldn’t water cacti/succulents that had roots broken off due to rot risk. Do you not have that problem watering newly transplanted agaves that have had their roots ripped off? By the way that ocotillo looks super gorgeous!!!

    • @mr_agave
      @mr_agave 5 годин тому

      Thanks. I'm very careful about watering during the summer months with most dry garden cultivars but this being an Americana, it's extremely difficult to harm this plant. There were more intact roots than damaged so, I'm not that concerned with this particular agave as we head into winter. But in other episodes with other agaves, I'm much more selective with watering.

    I love Agave and cactus but live where it gets below 20 degrees on occassion. Can you mention which species or variety can handle colder temps?

    • @mr_agave
      @mr_agave 14 днів тому

      I'm originally from Michigan so I completely understand cold temps! Unfortunately, I'm not an expert with Cold-Hardy agaves so I don't want to give you uninformed advice. With that, I still experience trial-and-error on a monthly basis even in my own yard so I'd suggest that you look up a couple and start small. If you decide to plant a couple, plant in the spring after the first frost to give them a really healthy start through the summer. Good luck!

    What is weed control like in your climate?

    • @mr_agave
      @mr_agave 16 днів тому

      Weeds start to accumulate in November and pretty much cover the landscaping by January. It's impossible to control it so I just manually weed when it gets out of control. By late spring, the hot temps help battle the rest of the weeds left until they're gone throughout summer.

    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.

    • @mr_agave
      @mr_agave 29 днів тому

      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.

      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.

    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.
