Thank you. In the past I used alcohol but obviously I did not complete the job. However I did not repot the plant so that is something I should do,
Again, thank you.

Thank you for the advice...and thank you for the comment about my plants

I have a couple of plants that often develop fuzzy buds that I assume will flower...but they don't. Below are two examples. The first one has never bloomed. The second one bloomed several years ago but that was it. Is there something that I can change too increase the chance of blooms? Thank you for...

I'm located in Arizona and this plant is outside all year...100F all summer and 35-45F in winter. I've had the plant for about 10 years. I'm pretty sure that it is infested (again). It has been quarantined...25 feet from other plants My questions: Is this, in fact, a mealy infestation? Can I save th...

Yes...I agree...thank you.

Thank you all. It appears that this one is not so clear. One comment is that I'm not sure what you mean by "young". I've had this one for over ten years. I will continue to research until the answer is clear.

Lost my ID tag...now that it has bloomed, I hope the ID is easier...thank you

I agree. I have already started to look for some "cheap labor". I will let you all know how it all turns out. Thank you.

Will do...I'll have my truck but my 76 year old body may only be able to do 1...maybe 2 at a time

Thank you...I think I will need the "good luck"

thank you both...

quite similar...definitely no legs..

thank you Hegar....After the initial events I went out and checked the area to get pictures but after getting rid of some of the dirt nothing was left except more dirt and some of the remains of roots.
Bottom line ...no pictures.

For the last couple of months I've lost several agaves after years of successful growing. The problems fall into two categories: 1. When the weather was really hot a few of them started to "rot" in the middle. When I pulled on the middle area, the entire center of the plant came loose and ...

A friend offer me three of her agaves. All I have to do is drive a couple of hours, dig them up and return home. As you can see they are quite mature. What are the dos and don'ts of doing this and maximizing the chances of a successful transplant?
