How to grow agave from seed

How to grow agave from seed

AGAVE seeds are flat - usually - and black in colour. They can also vary considerably in size, usually reflecting the size of the mature plant. As with most plants, the fresher the seeds, the greater the percentage of germination.
The compost mix for agave seedlings is very simple, mix equal parts of sifted sterilised top soil  and crushed granite/horticultural grit. Using a seed tray or individual pots, fill with the compost mix then sow the seeds giving each seed a couple of inches spacing.
