Hello again ...I apologise to all of you who responded. My wife and I had our first child just before this trade offer was posted , we had some medical issues with our daughter , all is going great for her now .However due to the time in and out of the hospital and the overtime worked to keep up with the bills , the frequent calls to the insurance company and the general caos of a family experiancing their first child I became too busy and regretfully forgot I had even thought of trades. While I do still have a few of these plants the pups I have at this time are far too small for a fair trade, and the parent plants are quite neglected. It will be some time before I could feel comfortable offering these for trade. Again I'm sorry that I did not get back to those who responded, bet i missed out on some nice haworthia , aloe and pachypodiums

I have several yuccas started from seed that are now in 1 gallon pots and can be bare rooted, also have Aloe microstigma, Aloe peglerae, Aloe variegata, Pachypodium brevicaule, Pachypodium densiflora, Pachypodium geayi and Pachypodium gracilis. PLMK if you are interested in any of rhese. Greg

They will grow rapidly in open run. A large pot would help establish roots, then plant in the ground, hold up water in the winter, and give them all they want when it warms up. I have seen these get sunburned as well and leaves frozen. So don't let water sit on the leaves. If too cold when you first transplant it may be in trouble. Wait until Spring and don't take a chance. We don't know where you live but by your 7b information I would judge that it is rather cold right now. Well rooted plants do well, however caution should be taken if roots are not developed yet. I had a variegated Americana that got very large, and I was afraid that the offsets were going to come up in my neighbors asphalt driveway. Norma

I used weed cloth only a little bit several years ago. I thought it had no trouble with letting air through. Water could have trouble going through unless it had time to soak in. Anyway, I agree. People that used it seem to generally avoid it. No one wants to put it down, cover it, and dig it all up again a few years later. Cornelia, AFAIK, you can't stop them from pupping. If I were you I'd consider replacing the pupping Agaves with a different kind that pups less. I have an Agave in a 1 gallon pot. The pot is full of pups. The amount of room doesn't matter. A barrier that goes below and above the soil surface would contain them but they'd be very crowded.
