    I have germinated agave and aloe seeds in community pots that are covered to retain moisture. Is it best to leave covered and if so, for how long? What is the best environment for these seedlings? Thanks Jim

    I think it's best if you take off the cover off as soon as most of the seeds have germinated. And I would put them under grow lights as soon as the first leaves develop.

    Is there any special soil that the agave needs or special growing conditions it needs when growing from seeds?
    Thanks
