Some things are meant to be

A couple of year ago I experimented with hypertufa, making a couple of test pots.  They were nothing special at the time, but slowly moss started to grow on them and they have turned into much more natural pots.  I have been looking for something to go in them and was surprised to find a little agave filifera at the local garden center.  They are just made for each other.


The agave has a certain compacta look to it, which would be great.  Sadly it is probably just a young plant, so will need some sort of intervention to keep it small. Either way for the next couple of years it is going to be put somewhere to be admired.

  1. A. toumeyana v bella would be even better. Same look, stays petite. Lovely as it is, though, with the bits of moss adding extra life.

    1. It would be wouldn't it. For me the moss is the thing that makes it, it was no where near as nice before the moss settled in.
