Thank you for your comment. I have taken large cuttings like this before but only about 3-4ft long. They all took but the lower leaves collapse and dry out making them look a little unsightly. The leaves in the one in the video still look as fresh as the day they went in! It could be due to the stake preventing root rock and so has enabled faster rooting. Simon
Hi there, yes it will be fine most years but if freezing conditions occur below -3 degrees Celsius I would recommend wrapping the pot as it will be more exposed to the colder temperatures compared to one grown in the ground. Kind regards Simon
I have a yucca but its in a pot and has bulbs growing from the soil towards the sky are the new plants ? I topped the yucca and it's now a middle stem with two other plants but the bulbs are confusing me lol
@@walkingtalkinggardeners they are from the base of the plant they are quite big looks like they are trying to sprout a green leaf from the middle of them. I'm not sure do I put soil on top of them or just let them grow
@fruity_shootyy it's difficult to say without seeing it, but I would probably just leave it for now and maybe remove them and pot on when they are more mature. Simon
Yes, they are surprisingly hardy but in all the years I spent in the UK garden centre industry the elephantipes was only ever offered as a house plant and i still don't see it on the shrub beds today. This year our winter temperatures were popping down to -7 but our trunk specimen looks like it has coped with it fine. That being said. The yucca elephantipes specimen in my father in laws garden, Essex has completely collapsed into a melted mess so I really don't see it as hardy as Y. glorisa or flaccida. Simon
That’s great to be able to regrow large yuccas from cuttings. Well done.

Do you think a potted version of this would survive outdoors in South East London? Thanks.

Sorry, I'm at bit confused. Are the bulbs actually bulbs, or are they new growth from the parent plant growing out from the base? Simon

It's in a 50 litre pot plastic they are trying to puncture the side of the pot to get out lol there are so many of them

@@walkingtalkinggardeners ye I might cut one replant it and see if it grows then I will do the rest thanks for the reply 🙂
Yucca Will grow queikly by using media volcano chane
That is great advice. Thanks for letting me know. Simon
@@walkingtalkinggardeners ok sir
Thought yucca elephantipes were hardy....
