Considering this, does a century plant die after it blooms?Although century plants are quite long-lived — though not nearly as long as their name would suggest — they die right after flowering. As soon as flowers set seed and drop, the plant withers and dies.Subsequently, question is, should I remove agave pups? Many agaves produce pups in the ground around the base of the mother plant. While it is fine to leave them many gardeners choose to remove them to tidy up the plant, control its spread or to use the pups to produce new plants. Besides, how do you grow agave puppies? For pot growing, separate the pups into individual pots filled with a store-bought soil mix for cacti and succulents. The pups can be planted anywhere with loose, well-drained soil. Loosen the soil about 12 in (30 cm) deep. Agave grows best when planted in the early fall or spring. Can you cut off agave and replant?You could cut off the big Agave and replant it somewhere else. Then the pups will come through and create a pleasing bunch.
