Re: Agave talk & pictures
I finally got around to starting a few raised beds recently, allowing me to liberate some plants into the ground. With the nice weather this weekend I’ve been able to get the first plant in, my biggest Agave ovatifolia. It was left in the same pot for getting on for 8 years so it probably won’t know...

Re: Agave talk & pictures
Something to consider with havardiana is that it doesn’t tolerate wet winter conditions anywhere near as well as ovatifolia. They are very cold tolerant, but where they grow in Texas/Coahuila (also Chihuahua if I remember right) is much drier than the Sierra Lampazos where ovatifolia occurs.

Re: Agave talk & pictures
I managed to pick up an Agave ovatifolia from a garden centre in November last year that was left over from the season. It had a fair bit of damage from leaf/root rot from being overwatered/left in very rich compost for too long. This seems to be an unfortunate pattern at a lot of places that don’t ...

Re: Agave talk & pictures
The nova looks great, wish there had been more left at Wisley when I was there.

Re: Agave talk & pictures
Looking really nice and healthy! Thank you! 🙂 A few more of my favourites at the moment: Agave shrevei ssp. matapensis has really come good this year. The combination between the blue grey on the leaves and the red on the spines make it very eye catching. 33876213-6531-4604-B8C3-1B63F8C198C3.jpeg 4...

Re: Agave talk & pictures
My Agave montana group has responded well to all the rain this summer. They struggled with the heatwave last year even with water 2 times every week but look much healthier now. This has to be one of my favourite Agave species. They cope well with our climate better than a lot of Agaves and there is...

Cactus ID help please
Hi all, I currently have a few cacti that are without labels and was wondering if anyone could give me any help with identifying them. Thank you in advance.
