NameTaken As mentioned up-thread, no selling on GardenWeb. You could check member's pages & look for Trade list. You may be lucky enough to find someone offering cuttings for trade; if you don't have anything to trade now, send them personal e-mail & maybe you can arrange something. Or directly contact members that you see here having plants you may be interested in (most have personal e-mail addy on member's page). If you want cuttings sent from USA to Canada, remember there are certain laws/rules/conditions & it may be more difficult. (So it would be easier to get stuff from Canadian members). Looks like you may have Detroit (?) location - in that case no problem to get the cuttings shipped there. So few Canadian members are offering cuttings... Otherwise use the nurseries mentioned. Some will ship to Canada too. Good luck. Rina This post was edited by rina_ on Sat, Apr 6, 13 at 13:56

Hi there, I used to have 2 sisalanas which I grew from pups collected in Lanzarote, Canary Isles. They each grew to around 2.5 feet high and were doing just fine till we had a terribly cold/long/snowy winter a few years back and temps plummeted to -18C. The plants were all potted and tucked away in the g/h but they didn't survive, unfortunately. They had vicious spines like daggers on the ends of the leaves that always managed to stab me somewhere! Have never seen the variegated type...they do look good. Gill UK

Thank you for the posts guys. Im located Detroit, MI. Its in my balcony so 0 water. Ive had the parviflora about a month and I might have given it one watering. I think I will water it this coming weekend. Im keeping my eye on the trun., I hope it does well. Ill move it indoors for the winter as it seems really damaged. crisware I wish you wouldve offered before :) I bought both from ebay as nurseries were sort of a joke. Medium to high priced + handling charges ontop of shipping (for a puny 3" piece). I would've loved to buy from you, supporting hobbyists over nurseries/businesses any day. I know all about selling/buying/trading plant clippings as Ive done this with aquatic plants for years. The problem is, I dont have much of cacti/succulents to trade with.

Here is a list of FULL summer sun adapted agaves for PHOENIX area that GermanStar (a forum participant here)and friends worked up on Xericworld, another forum . A americana started out on it but somewhere dropped off. I see it in full sun here in Austin and it does alright but it is thirstier than other agaves. It is not as xeric as some. I think it should do 5 hours of sun fine just don't let it get too dry. I have not actually grown A. mediopicta so maybe you should listen to someone else. LOL germanstar is your man . He grows a huge # of species of Agave in the Phoenix area.I am sure that he will poke his head i here soon. The thread on the URL is long. Skim it. Lots of info but it is long.
