The Century plant, (Agave americana) is a very large growing succulent plant and an impressive shrub to add to your succulent collection if you don't make these planting mistakes!

EdenMaker Shirley Bovshow is in downtown Calabasas, California where a number of huge Century plants have taken over a small, narrow garden bed and are encroaching on the sidewalk. The long, sharp leaf blades are a danger to passersby. Goodbye eyeball! Not good!

Shirley points out some of the MANY planting and plant care mistakes committed against these century plants so that you don't repeat the violation in your garden.

You will learn:

✅How to approach the spacing and placement of a century plant within a small, narrow garden bed so that it can grow to maturity without having to butcher the shrub.

✅Why you should NEVER cut the century plant leaf in an effort to reduce its size.

✅Be able to identify an agave offset plant, sometimes referred to as "agave pups" or "baby plants" and the importance of transplanting succulents sooner than later!

✅Learn about planting Century plants from Shirley Bovshow, one of the most loved garden designers and gardening teachers on Youtube.
