Agave Tenuata pups

 
My favourite big old agave has about 5 or 6 pups springing up.  Should I
let them get bigger before separating them?  Is there any particular
method better than another for taking them off?

 

with the pups just cut them off leave them in a shaded spot with the cut end
touching the ground. Roots will have appeared in 8 weeks and you can pot up
then or wait until winter to plant out in full sun.

Cheers

Richard

Thanks!  Gee, that's a while to leave them so I would have done it wrong
- I probably would've just left them for only a few days (like I do with
succulent snip offs.)  Grateful, ta.
