I have agave cactus in my back yard and just recently it sprout a shoot very long one. It look like it happened almost overnight because I work at my back yard every day and there was nothing just few days ago?? Can someone explain what is it?
Agave cactus question??
It is going to flower. It is also called a century plant.
Each rosette is monocarpic and grows slowly to flower only once. During flowering a tall stem or "mast" grows from the center of the leaf rosette and bears a large number of shortly tubular flowers. After development of fruit the original plant dies, but suckers are frequently produced from the base of the stem which become new plants.
