They are doing well at the moment, I'm keeping them in a cold but frost free location for their first winter, I'll probably make an update video in late spring when they start to grow again.
Wow 60° is a long way north, my plants have been growing well, they are currently dormant due to the time of year, but I'll make an update when they start to grow again in spring.
Hey there! Thanks for the video 😊 How it looked later? I'm also planting some agaves, but no progress lately. I wander what's the next stage and I'm not sure if I water them enough...
They have grown fairly well and I hope to upload a short update video about them soon. They grow much faster if watered often, but be careful as they can easily rot if over watered. Only water regularly in summer and allow the soil to mostly dry out in-between waterings.
Hello, I was wondering what you sais you were using as a growing medium at 3:20? (I supposed it is coconut coconut coir but I am not sur about it). Also, can I ask the composition of the compost please? Thank you for your reply :)
at 3:20 I was using coconut coir for germinating the seeds. For growing the young plants after they were germinated I used my own mix of about one third perlite, one third top soil (mine is very sandy and free draining) and one third multipurpose compost.
Do you know how old were the seed when you germinated them (i.e., time from harvest to sowing)? And is there any preparation of the seed that needs to happen to increase germination rates?
I don't know exactly how old they were, but the website I got them from said they were new in stock, so I would imagine not more than a few months old. No the seeds don't have much dormancy and so will easily germinate with just warm damp conditions.
