Please find for sale 10+ seeds for Agave Victoria Regina v compact El Amparo  - a rare and beautiful cultivar of what is commonly known as the Queen Victoria Century Cactus.
Agaves are a beautiful, highly architectural genus of succulents perfect as either a house planr or seasonal plant for growing outdoors in summer. 

The plant should be grown in well-drained soil in full sun. When mature it will be able to cope with cold and frosts provided it’s protected from winter wet. Young plants will need extra protection. Alternatively grow in a large container that you can move indoors in autumn. 

As with all Century Agaves, these are very much a plant for life!

Germination Guide 
  • Soak seeds for 24 hours in tepid water
  • Prepare a seeds tray of sieved, well-draining soil mix - Ideally a mix of  50% regular compost, 50% vermiculite
  • Potting mix should be moist but not wet
  • Prepare a seed tray and gently smooth the surface flat (but do not press hard and compact the compost)
  • Sow the seeds individually on the surface 1cm apart and very gently press onto soil to ensure a good contact.
  • Cover seeds with a thin layer (3mm) of fine sand or vermiculite
  • Keep seeds tray at around 21c in a light place but out of direct sunlight
  • First seedlings should appear within 2 weeks but germination may be over up to 10 weeks.
  • After germination, increase ventilation to reduce the risk or rot/damping off
  • Ensure compost is kept moist but not wet - nest to place seed tray inside a waterproof tray and water from the bottom. The surface can also be misted if drying out
  • After about 5 weeks, the compost should be allowed to dry out between watering to replicate natural conditions
  • Pot on as required
