Perfect shape!I have 15 agaves in pots at home. They are not so perfect as "yours", but they are not bad. They spend the summer outside in the garden. But for the winter they "move" into the house. Of course that abovementioned physical contact must be avoided in this case, too!

Re: Perfect shape!You are so very right, my friend!
Are you considering a return trip to SE Asia?
If so, who will take care of all those agaves?
That's what I like best about desert plants.
They're very easy to care for, even though
if you decide to give them a "hug," you'll
probably end up in the hospital.
Actually, this agave is being well-cared for
by Mother Nature and Father Time.

Re: Perfect shape!I'm afraid that I cannot return to the Philippines any more - though that was the most friendly place I have ever been too. I was there 8 times, but by now my project finished there. And for private trip it's too far from Europe. But within a half year I may have a trip to Malaysia.
Agaves don't need much care in winter. They can survive without any water. Actually now my plants are very lucky: this winter is very mild. Most of them are still outside in the garden. Now it's an average temperature of 6 Celsius degree there, and they can survive down to -2 Celsius.

Re: Perfect shape!Long live your agaves!
Agave plants thrive in strong light and high
temperatures. The "ideal" temperature range is between 35 degrees Celsius and 5 degrees C. They can definitely survive down to -2.
With the advent of global warming, agaves
will probably be happier than ever !!!

My Neighbor....back at home has a TON of agava on his land. He is the only one in the US that makes Tequila (he can't call it Tequila anymore because that is a registered trademark in Mexico). Its pretty interesting...

Re: My Neighbor....Oh my God! Did somebody say Tequila ???
"I always wanted to have a neighbor,
Just like you.
I always wanted to live in a neighborhood,
With you, so...
Let's make the best of this beautiful day..."
