One of my plants of Agave micracantha has flowered three times 
within the last few years, dividing itself into several heads after 
flowering in the way A. densiflora is accustomed to do. It is a 
free-growing species when potted in good sandy-turfy loam, with 
plenty of pot-room when young. The plants should be allowed a 
free supply of water during the season of growth, and the pots 
they grow in should be carefully drained. ‘he temperature of a 
cool airy greenhouse suits them well. I have grown this Agave 
for many years. I think I originally obtained it from Belgium.—
