Agave plants do not require regular pruning, but you may need to remove dead leaves or damaged plant parts occasionally. Here are some tips for pruning an agave plant: 1. Wear protective gloves as the leaves have sharp points that can cause injury. 2. Use a sharp, clean pair of pruning shears to cut off dead or dying leaves at the base of the plant. 3. Remove any leaves that have become discolored, wilted, or dry. 4. Cut off any damaged or diseased leaves close to the stem. 5. Prune away any offsets from the base of a mature plant using a sharp knife. Remember to be careful while pruning agave, as they are prone to injury and over-pruning can damage the plant’s growth. Only prune as necessary.
