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
