In this video, Jeff Moore of Solana Succulents in Solana Beach, California, demonstrates how to divide and transplant an agave. He also covers the basics of watering and drainage.

Very helpful. My mother agave looks as though it has two separate "towers" should they be separated? Not sure you can see it but it looks like their is a whole new plant atop the original, if that makes sense. I had a picture ,hope you can see it.
what's the procedure if it's not in a pot and in the ground instead?
The reader below asked the same question I'm going to ask…what's the procedure if it's in the ground? How do you easily separate the pups?
My pups puzzle me - they look nothing like their mother. Any ideas?
Also if anyone can name the mother I'd appreciate it. Many Thanks Robert
I have the same!! they are so cute
