You have a lot of very nice plants there (tu)

Regarding 'Shira ito no Ohi':

This nursery in France usually have them but it currently says 'coming soon'.

https://agavespecialist.eu/ has some rare plants so they might be worth a try. Beyond that they will likely be posted on ebay periodically.

Some good looking plants you have, I don't think I can help with 'Shira ito no Ohi', we all wanted it when new then I know I got bored with it I think Wayne may have it now.

varied collection of succulents and cacti but I especially like Euphorbia's, Ariocarpus and variegated agaves.

Here are both of mine. The second is an offset that came from the first plant when I bought it. This was a nice surprise considering they tend to share the non-offsetting nature of non-variegated schidigera (at least for me anyway).

One of my big oldies outside is getting ready to blow - Agave salmiana ssp crassispina. I think it is around 27 years old. I expect it will sit there over winter then fire away in spring.

Nice looking plants, especially the offset being more compact so far.

How much is everyone watering their indoor agave at the moment?

My conservatory isn't going below 12 or so degrees currently at night and I've given my smaller plants a light watering today as they were looking very dry.
