This is my first time trying it, but I the pictures I have seen range in number. Think it is more technique than species that would make the difference.Spiky Obsessionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04336642361281619338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1238598581399721410.post-834994354596062792014-03-01T06:29:05.383+00:002014-03-01T06:29:05.383+00:00Very cool coring.

Does it depend on the species too?Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16850318639041020827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1238598581399721410.post-5190504077988857182013-09-15T16:10:38.641+01:002013-09-15T16:10:38.641+01:00Not going to let my OH see this, she'll be dri...Not going to let my OH see this, she'll be driving the car over plants saying it is to help with the propagation.<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing an update on yours once there is more growth.Spiky Obsessionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04336642361281619338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1238598581399721410.post-54374647344794957752013-09-13T23:18:41.891+01:002013-09-13T23:18:41.891+01:00That variegated one looks fantastic. Coring just ...That variegated one looks fantastic. Coring just the right amount appears to be the trick. A drunken teenager appeared to figure this trick out easily by running his car into my neighbor's A. attenuata, which is now sprouting a dozen new rosettes from the Toyota-cored center.<br /><br />My experiment with the A. desmetianas is still a question--they've been slow to grow because of the heat we've gotten.

I've done this on haworthias before but often I only get one new growing point instead of the three or four I'm hoping for. Still, you have to give these techniques a try, because every now and then they work beautifully. The new agave offset does look very nice at this stage.
