You might try going to the cactus and succulent forum and either doing a search for all the threads on agave or just posting your question there. I expect you'll get quite a few answers.

I hope you kept all the packing info so that you know just which variety. Agaves come in all sizes from 1' mini to the rather common 6' to 8'
