How to prune agave

1. How to trim

Agave itself is a plant that grows in a rosette shape, so when pruning it, you mainly need to prune off the old leaves and damaged leaves at the bottom. As the maintenance time increases, some tiller buds may appear at its bottom. Some varieties grow in clusters or need to grow in clusters. We can leave these tiller buds alone. If you want to cultivate a single plant, then these tiller buds must be pruned off in time to prevent them from destroying the plant shape.

2. Precautions

Agave has a growth point in the middle, from which new shoots grow. So no matter how you prune it, you must ensure that the growth point in the middle is intact. If you want to expand the branches of a certain variety and increase its reproduction, you can cut off the growth point to promote the occurrence of suckers and increase its reproduction coefficient.
