Hi all
I was looking at this A.parryi patoni truncata & decided it was looking a bit untidy, it had 9 or 10 pups & hadn't been repotted for 4 years or more.
Once I unpotted it It didn't look to bad until I turned it over , it was a mass of stolons over 20 !

.
Even the pups had 1-3 stolons, I don't know how many will survive as there was lots of breakages getting them all seperated & repotted.

varied collection of succulents and cacti but I especially like Euphorbia's, Ariocarpus and variegated agaves.
Colin is ginving some agave talks so I wondered if I should pack him off with some sale plants . EBay is good but time consuming.

It's because the pups were growing so well , had me worried about letting them get bigger as it would be much more dangerous
I have just been chopping off stolons from an A macroacantha & that was dangerous really sharp pointy spines, the stolons were really thick about 1.5" & I had to use a vegetable knife to chop them.
Has anyone chopped stolons into more pieces & got extra pups ?
