Hi- I am interested- I sent you an email. -Gwenn

Hello, I am interested in getting some new cacti/succulents. Can you please e-mail me at jolly_rancherscream@hotmail.com

Difficult to kill these through neglect, especially in a climate like yours or mine (zone 9). I potted up small pups of a. americana into 4-inch terra cotta pots. Just put them outside under a pine tree in a somewhat sheltered area. Might water them in Summer once in a while. They don't seem to mind exposure, cold, rain, no water. These plants will grow faster if you give them the conditions they thrive in, but if you don't they are content to wait. Small well-formed agaves in pots make real nice accent plants. I would make sure your pot is not too large for your plant, and perhaps a little more time in the greenhouse would be better than bringing the pup into the house. After all, you did find it growing there. Water? Spritz it. Too much water on the roots now is not a good idea. Cacti know how to take water out of the air and off of their skin.

I love Blue Glow also;). It looks like it could be getting dehydrated. I would repot in a fast draining mix like 60% rinsed pumice or perlite and 40% cactus mix. Wait for a week or so to water after repotting and if the roots are healthy they should begin to do their job. Lastly the pot should have drainage holes. Goodluck;). if you’re able to it would be a good time to put outside. Acclimate slowly to more sunlight. This is a plant that has no issue with handling the sun, as long as it’s acclimated of course. Mine gets watered every 7-10 days in the spring/summer.
