Lateral bud cutting is to remove the lateral buds from the axils of the leaves of the mother plant, then dry the wounds and insert them into the soil. The ramet is to separate the seedlings from the base of the mother plant and plant them separately in spring. In addition, its leaves can also be propagated in the same way as lateral bud cutting. If properly maintained, it will take root and survive soon.

Take the agave out of the basin soil, and then carefully separate the seedlings growing near the mother plant to avoid damaging the root system. Put the rooted plants directly into the basin, without roots into the sand bed, and then transplant them after the roots grow out. Rametting is the simplest method of reproduction, very practical
