When pruning Agave, you should first cut off the old leaves at the bottom of the plant. Because as it continues to grow, it will grow many new leaves, and the leaves at the bottom of the plant will gradually wither and grow old. In order not to increase the nutrient consumption and reduce the ornamental value, it is necessary to cut off the old leaves in time.
It is inevitable that plants will be damaged by diseases and insect pests during the growth period. In order to prevent more leaves from being infected, the diseased leaves should be cut off from the base and cleaned up. At the same time, it is necessary to cooperate with drugs for prevention and treatment, otherwise, the diseased leaves may exist all the time. It should be noted that after cutting off the diseased leaves, the residual leaves in the basin soil should be removed.
In order to make it have higher ornamental value, it is necessary to prune the disordered leaves and long leaves as soon as possible. Disordered leaves will not only affect the appearance, but also waste fertilizer. Note that when pruning too long leaves, try to start from the bottom. If you just prune half of the leaves, it will not look good.
