Any tips for an Agave?

Hello together,

i have really robust Agaves at home (probably an Agave Americana?) and i really love them :) i mean.. Yeah, they poke me every now and then, but that means they like me, right?^^

My grandpa build a hotel, back then 1976, and he really liked the Agave, so he planted some in that hotel. They got reeeaaally big! And one day i decided to get a little one of the offsprings, or to be more preciese 2 of them, and planted them on our terrace on the last floor, where our apartment was. And they grew really fast! Even got another offspring of them, which i planted in a smaller vase. Until one day i got tired of them and didn't watered them anymore...

3 years passed, i got a girlfriend and she asked why i don't want to water those Agaves anymore. They got dried out in the meantime - but not completely! So i got rid of the dried out leaves and started to water them again :)

2 years later we moved out from our parents homes and moved in together in her new apartment. And for sure i took those 3 Agaves with me! ;) they even got new vases! And too much water since it rained much and i was too stupid to open the tap on the bottom of the vases. So they stood in water for months! And they even survived that, luckily :)

And they even made more offsprings of which two i planted in a new vase. And they started growing again. One day my father asked me if he can get one, so he took the vase, planted the biggest one from the middle of the vase out and left the others inside the vase and i got it back, with the four little ones left inside. Also i gifted a little one to my aunt last christmas, since she also wanted one.

So this year i started to cut them radically but they don't grow much since 1-2 years now... I got new offsprings again and placed them in small vases, so they start to grow now slowly.

I always planted them in standard flower earth we get at the gardening center near our location. My father for example planted his one in "normal" earth which was just there where he planted his and he always tells me how beautiful mine are, and asks wondering if i just put them in flower earth or did something else, and yep, flower earth is my secret here^^

So i don't know what i should do with them. Like, i love them, but i got so many offsprings and it's a pitty for me to just throw them away... So i gift them every now and then, but it's hard to find some who wants one, like i don't know many people, so my girlfriend asked at her workplace and 2-3 wanted one. But... I mean... 2-3, it feels as that is the monthly amount of offsprings i get from them^^ so yeah.. It takes over, it gets out of hand! So selling could be an idea, but where do i find people who want one? I'm not the type of person who yells in the middle of everyone "Hey! Look at me! I'm selling something!". So it's tricky...

Also i'm no expert on planting them. I just put them in vases and let them grow. Always on the same spot, summer as winter. That little bit of snow we get yearly fells on them, stays there and melts when it got warmer again. It seem to not bother them anyways. (Also those big vases are just too heavy for me to move them somewhere^^).

So if you have any tips for me on how i can improve those plantings, make them bigger, more beautiful, etc. (or even how i could sell them) i'd really appreciate :D

At the end i just want to show you my beautiful Agaves ;)

_{And here you can see all of my Agaves! Basically the first two in the big vase are my first ones and the second last one is the first offspring of those two i got still at the hotel}

Those fotos are tooken this spring (somewhen in April) and yesterday i cut some brown leaves from the offsprings down and also the smallest of those offsprings didn't make it, so i had to get rid of it. On the bright side, i got two new ones (which are a bit bigger) ;)

I want to experiment a bit with those, like other soil, other this, other that. If you have any tips for me there, i would be really happy :)

Sincerely,
