Knowing how to propagate agaves is a satisfying and simple skill to learn. Loved for their sculptural shapes and beautiful green hues, as well as for their easy care requirements, these succulents top the popularity stakes both in the garden and as low-maintenance houseplants.
Among the best desert plants, there are more than 200 species of agave. They vary in size, but luckily propagating them is similar for most types. This is due to the pups, which grow out from the base of the mature plants, or sometimes on a stalk. The former are called offsets, while the latter are known as bulbil, but both are clones of the mother plant and are generally referred to as pups or offsets.
