Agave seedling help, please

[Stu77]

Hi all,

I'm looking for abit of advice as I am very new to Agaves and all succulents in general for that matter!

I have recently purchased a Protoamericana and Montana seedling which are both currently both about an inch across.

A few questions I have are:
How often should I be watering these seedlings? Does watering differ to older plants?
When should I repot them? They are currently in 5cm pots.

Any help or general advice would be appricated.

Thanks

Water them when they're dry. Repot them when they've filled their pot with roots - unpot them and inspect the roots to see if they're ready.

Watering varies more with how root bound the plant is than it does with age. A plant that's recently been placed in a larger pot and hasn't yet filled that pot with roots will need to be watered less often.
