I have done it with sago palms...cutting the small ones from the base of the mother plant.

But I am not sure how to do the agave. Same way maybe?

Cut the small one as close to the bottom that you can. Caution, the juice will burn your skin on contact. Then just plant the pup, should work just like the sago.
