Fast Growing and Super Cold Hardy are two of the reasons Agave ovatifolia aka the Whales Tongue agave is at the top of my list for landscape agaves in Central Texas 🌵 not to mention they are cold hardy down to 5°. BOOYAH!!!

These photos were taken just two years ago apart 😳 In the ground they will double in size every year to the point where they can take up a compact car parking spot 💪 5ft wide and 4 ft tall

My favorite is the ‘Frosty Blue’ as shown here. As they get bigger they turn more of a turquoise color and they are stunning!

We always have them in stock so come on by and grab one. Then plant it and forget it!

Cheers!

The one change to my growing routine that doubled my plants’ growth…

Before I get to the one change I’d like to share the results of a small experiment I’ve been running on some Agave ovatifolia ‘Frosty Blue’
plugs, to see if this “one thing” could really make a difference.

I took several flats of the plugs and divided them into two groups (as shown in pics 2 & 3) one was treated with “The One Thing”, while the other group was left as a control with my regular growing routine.

👉 And the one change or difference between the 2 groups was a single application of MitoGrow.

TIME FRAME - Last pic shown was taken May 28, 2024. At that time a total of 2 tablespoons of MitoGrow were mixed with 2 gallons of water and applied to the MitoGrow labeled flats. Basically soaked’em well.

One application. One Time. Then proceeded with my normal routine and watered all flats equally moving forward.

To my eyes, the Mitogrow group grew 2x bigger than the untreated flats (That’s what I see, what would you say?).

Overall, The leaves of the Mitogrow-treated plants were generally wider, bigger and more vibrant, with a healthier color that suggested better nutrient absorption.

MitoGrow is a bit of an industry secret as growers would rather you not know how they grow such big beautiful plants… But why should they have all the fun?? 🤔

I’ve arranged to set my followers up with a “Discovery Pack” of MitoGrow to mix up and pour on their plants… You’d get enough to treat seven 1-gallon plants.

If you’d like to give it a shot I’d be happy to arrange that for you, Simply message “Discovery” in the chat below and I’ll shoot you a DM.

In full disclosure, I couldn’t talk them into covering the product AND shipping 😱 So you will be have to part with a couple bucks, I think $3? for shipping to get it to your door.

Hope this helps all you plants lovers out there and remember…

Keep Growing!!
OG ✌️
