i must be doing something right ....(at last)

I've got one rooted but the other two seem to be taking longer, they're still alive though and look OK.

 

Cool ... well done crew !!!!./ if you over winter them (un-heated greenhouse does the job) these beauties will not dissapoint you.. I had many a comment long before the jack and the beanstalk thing happened!!!!!!!!

 

update from Scotland..... they've all rooted!! Gentle tug today - and no give!! Wahay! So the invasion can continue as planned from all directions..... (And in the meantime, the spiders have started their take-over too! Sorry, Steve - divided loyalties here )

 

Steve I think we are ok here in Cheshire just about established a bridgehead soon be ready to march

 

Battalions 1,2 and 3 reporting for duty Sir!!

Ok, not the best pic, but hope you can make out the 3 new leaves - yes! 3!!! Another ones just showing signs of a leaf too

Let the battle commence!!!! :D

 

congrats to you all....you will enjoy these, you really will....especially in cornwall windy

 

wow that looks an amazing plant. good luck with the world dominations hehe

 

*UPDATE*
The plant pictured above is now romping away!!!! 5 new leaves with the biggest about 2" long!! The others are lagging behind a tad, but there's signs of new leaves starting on a couple
Steveb's was 4 years from planting to flowering - I'm gonna see if mine can beat his record :rolleyes:
"C'mon little baby - grow for Mummy" :D :D

 

Glad to hear it Windy! Mine are still going strong, but nowhere near what you're describing... :rolleyes:

 

If you have any spares Steve do you want to trade one for a baby Agave americana variegata ? :D

 

AAAAHHHH!! BM wants to join in world domination!!! :D :D

Well here's a pic of Herman

Ok, not the best piccie - I can't seem to do the close up thing very well!! In 3 short years he'll be visible on Google Earth and I shall rule the world!!! YA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAA!(evil laugh!!)

 

Mine took a while to get started, and one's still a bit feeble looking, but this shows one that's set for the big attack! :D



Ignore the plant to the left of it, that's just about to perk up, honest!

 

Wow been offline for a while....glad to see the world domination is under way... what i have noticed is that the bulbils grow a hell of a lot slower than the original plants.... Sorry Bananaman....i didn't ignore you, just not been online....if you still want a one let me know.
Ive planted 3 or 4 outside in the ground to see if they make it through the next winter. all the others have been over wintered in a (crowded to hell) unheated greenhouse

 

Hey all you people who got a bulbil post your latest pics.....I'll go take some. The flowering monster is no more...it died after flowering....but blimey it went out in style....
Seen some in cornwall earlier this year, especially at Paradise Park.(hayle, near st.ives) 1 foot diameter trunk and over 2 mtrs high. still not flowered!. why did mine flower soooooo early???????

 

Hi Steveb welcome back, here is a picture of 2 of those you gave me one I passed to my brother the spread continues
