Germination of
Agave guiengola
Creme Brulee Agave - Century Plant, Blue Agave, Spiked Agave
The seeds of Agave guiengola require a warm, dry environment to germinate. Start by filling a seed tray with a mixture of cactus potting soil and perlite. Sow the seeds on top of the soil mixture, and cover them with a thin layer of soil. Water the soil sparingly, as the seeds can rot if they are too moist. Place the seed tray in a warm, bright location with good air circulation. The seeds should start germinating within 2-4 weeks. Once the seedlings have developed their first set of true leaves, they can be transplanted into individual pots with well-draining soil.
Some of plants may have very have specific germination requirements that may not be covered in these general instructions.
Many seeds require pre-treatment before sowing which we try to list here when we can, but this information may not be present here. Germination times and germination temperatures are to be a guide only. Many factors can DRASTICALLY affect this.
It's always a good idea to research the specific germination requirements from multiple sources for each plant before attempting to grow them from seed.
