How to prune agave geminiflora

Rarely — minimal maintenance only. Agave geminiflora (Twin-Flowered Agave) is a fine-leaved, globe-forming rosette that requires almost no pruning. The hundreds of narrow leaves self-clean, and dead outer ones can be gently pulled or cut away. Do not trim for shape — the globe form is natural. Wear gloves; tips are sharply pointed. Remove spent flower stalks after bloom.
