yeah I agree the crockpot is bad.I tried getting an ID 3 years ago and no luck.I got it in the crockpot& 3 yrs ago couldn't even get it out so re staked it& top dressed it.the lady that had it grew it on a shaded porch.i've grown it on north side of porch for 3 years,but this time its in backyard behind house looking west into the woods.I'd give a good guess of 3-4 hours full sun.Has scale on the older growth.it had bug issues when 1st got it.I fineally drenched it in Daconil & seemed to cure its issue.

I mostly need to know how hardy is it?

Could I plant it in the ground?

I don't water it,I let it live on whatever rainfall we get.In the winter I move it inside of shed towards the back with a donkey ear optuina & it gets NO water then Dec- March.The shed don't have doors no more cause of hurricane rita.

The agave

the one in pot I'm not sure but think century plant.the mother was huge like a chevy luv truck.i'm going to get 3-4 more babies& also like to know how far will need to space the babies to eventually form like a 'mass' of covered area...something a lawn mower won't need to go through.

the green one I picked out of a yard while waiting on water& ice after hurricane rita& forgot about for a MONTH in my trunk& it lives.I'd say its 5 years old.Its just started sending out pups actually 5 all together.2 came end of summer the rest are smaller.I'd like to trade a pup off for a cream& green variegated one I lost.Rita sent a tree right down on that sucker.my agave had a blow out it couldn't recover from.
