Countless plants withered.
But I don't look back. If I do, I won't be able to keep my sanity...

My name is Suzuki and I've been gardening as a hobby for 14 years.
This is a section that introduces only plants that we have actually grown.

This time we will introduce the popular " Agave Sasa no Yuki Super Wide " which is cute and plump.

What kind of plant is Agave Sasa no Yuki Super Wide?

It is said to be a hybrid of "Sasa no Yuki" and "Agave pumila", but the details are not known.
Other names for this species include "Momotaro," "D-type," and "Abby Brook."
When purchasing, it seems like it would be fine to choose based on appearance rather than being confused by the name.

Although the Sasayuki variety is a sturdy agave, even the slightest change can cause it to lose its lower leaves.
I feel like Super Wide is sensitive to temperature changes, and it often gets out of order when the seasons change.
If it is not watered enough, it will become grumpy earlier than other bamboo plants.

It doesn't seem like he minds being repotted that much.
By the way, the same species, "Kisan," will weaken dramatically if replanted at the wrong time...

Puffy

The cutest thing about Super Wide is its plump, round, and friendly appearance.
To me, it's a soothing agave.
If you give too much fertilizer, the plant will grow leggy, so we give it a diluted fertilizer than the recommended ratio.
Of course, if there is a lack of fertilizer, the plant may still grow leggy, so it is not fertilized without any fertilizer.
I'm currently experimenting to raise them plump.
