have just been given an Agave
it is very large with a long stem on it. I would like to put it in a pot but
worried about it being top heavy.
my question is can I cut the stem or trunk back to make it shorter. At the
moment the stem is about 20 inches long before the foliage begins. there are
several small new plants growing on the stem down towards the bottom
hopefully I can remove them and plant them in smaller pots.
The plant was dug out from a very large section of them in a garden of a
friend of mine as it is spreading over a large area now.
I am in Melbourne
any comments appreciated
