How to pot a rare variegated agave titanota black and blue, one of my favorite succulent cultivars

Thank you for stopping by and welcome to my new channel where I explore my dry garden cultivars including agaves, cactus and other succulents. In today's episode, I pot a beautifully rare variegated agave titanota 'black and blue.' I've waited a long time for a rare agave from Tony Krock's awesome collection and now I get to share the potting process with you! I love working with these beautiful plants, I hope you enjoy the video!

Whether you're a seasoned horticulturist or an agave hobbyist like me or just a little curious about these awesome plants, I hope to be able to offer a little bit of something for everyone.
