This man just full on bear hugged that yucca. Lol my anxiety went thru the roof 😂
Same!! I'm terrified my yucca is going to take an eye out.
@@TH-sd9hv my goats got out and bloody ate mine. So now it's just a big stump 😅 I don't have to worry about poking my eyes out... So.. that's a plus. I guess 😏
@@elizabethvaughn5694 always a silver lining? 🤣🐐
I got a few yucca plants when I bought my house they came with it, people hate them so I'm going to make a huge garden of them I don't mind them they're like mini palm trees.
Your video is very informative.
I am glad this info was useful :)
I don't understand why people hate them, but something to be careful with is that they can become quite large and over the years the stem base can encroach on other landscaping. So ensure that you keep them pruned to the size and shape that you want.
Happy gardening :)

The way he handles those yuccas with no sweat is amazing. I work with some guys who are scared to prune them and I have to do it myself
I got poked up multiple times. Also was a lot rougher on the plants, yuccas are prone to falling over and breaking.
Very helpful video - short and to the point with clear explanation. Thank You.
Great video and exactly everything I was looking to learn about the subject. Top marks and thanks for taking your time to share your knowledge Sir!
Thank you, I am very glad you have found it useful 😄. There is a follow up video for this one that you may also find useful 😄

On my way to work I saw that someone had cut theirs up and had a lot of pieces on the side of the road for trash so I picked up one big piece since I’ve been wanting one of these plants and I was like I wonder if it can still root even tho it was cut and has no roots so to RUclips I went and found this video so yayyy I’m so happy that there’s hope. Hopefully it will grow in my yard.
Thank you for the absolutely perfect information for a BEAUTIFUL yucca that was gifted me. I've brought it back to life, and now I think it's ready to strike 4 new plants. 5 if you count the main tree itself. I thank you again for the info I was curious about.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback ..... I am so glad the information was useful :)

Brilliant thank you for this video. Wish I saw this sooner as I ripped up one and binned it but now I can save my last one.
Glad it helped :) Hope you are able to save that last one :)
Very helpful...Thank you ☺️
You are very welcome. I am glad that you found it helpful :)
Wow! It really is nice to live somewhere where Yuccas are grown outdoors in a their natural evinronment! Alas mine will never reach that grand splendor since they are House Plants!
We are very lucky, but I have seen many yuccas grown in doors and really look amazing :)
Very informative...like the plant...thanks
I am glad that you found this helpful :)
Happy gardening :)
Thanks Steve!!!!
You are very welcome 🙏
Happy gardening 😄
Thanks!
What a sweetheart!
Followed you, cut two big side shoots of our huge yucca and put the cuttings in pot. Look forward to seeing the result in a few months
Great to hear 😄 would love to hear how it goes 😄
Gud work.rare vedio.gud luck feature programs
Great video
Thank you 😊
Well, today I'll be lobbing off the top of two yuccas that I've had for about ten years, they're pretty tall, and I'm pretty nervous, but I'm going to go for it! THANK YOU!
Sorry about my slow response. So glad you found this useful, and good luck - I am sure it will be fine.
Awesome
Thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing.
You are very welcome 😄
Thank you 💚
Good info thank.
Great video. I have never seen anything on yucca pruning!

+Fensterfarm Greenhouse Thanks Chuck, much appreciated 😀
Great advice .... Let's hope my 3 cuttings are a great success! Getting online advice may have saved me a lot of $$$$. :) Thank you
Glad it has been helpful 😀😀
How in the heck are you doing that with your bare hands??? Our little yucca bushes are so sharp and they shred my hands anytime I try to touch them!
That’s because there are a ton of variations of yucca plants, around my area specifically they only have one point and it’s at the very end so it’s really easy to manage them and grab them by the tip and machete off the tip and then you’re good to work on the rest of the plant
Years of gardening gives you tough hands
Yes mine are called Adams needle and are short in comparison
Good video, using gloves saves your hands a bit, but my question is ,what if you cut shot sections off the trunk?
Is there any special prep work to do before planting, are there any secrets and tips?

Great video! Thanks for the instructions! Very helpful! Subscribing!
Thank you 🙏

Thank you!!! I was lost on what to do with my giant overgrown 16 year old yucca indoor plant!
You are very welcome :)
I am glad that you 16 year old yucca will have a future :)
Lol. Indoor. Funny
Very helpful and amazing. I am from Phila. and we have no tree that you can cut off and root! Love San Diego gardening.
Glad you enjoyed it 😄. I am from Australia and so glad we are able to share our gardening stories.
Stay safe in these difficult times.
@@iCultivate1 Love Australia!! Awesome place and people!
Nice sharing 👌
Thank you 👍
THANKS!!!
+Craig Elliott you are very welcome Craig.
Happy gardening 😀
Thanks from QLD
You are very welcome :)
very helpful video :)
Thank you. I am very glad you found it useful 😄
Thank you so much for explanation,I have found cutted yucca on the container garbagge😔,but hope it will be beautiful again in my garden.
I am confident that it will be fine ....... I have left cuttings out of the ground as long as 6 months and they have successfully grown when placed in a pot.
Happy gardening :)
@@iCultivate1 Good to know, I cut a branch about three weeks ago and today I decided to plant the shoots and the top of it in soil, since they were still green.
I've planted straight into the ground and they flourished. It took a little time and compost but it worked great.
Fantastic. I love hearing those success stories. Thank you for sharing 😄
Thank you for the useful tips, for my yuccas, you have nice plants , and channel. Subscribed. If you do not wear prescription glasses, like this man, and try to mess with this kind of yuccas, first of all, put on a pair of safety glasses, it can cost you an eye if not, take care of your ears too, there had been reported many cases of perforation of the eardrum, while handling the plant. The leafs are like spades, not in vain, in Spain we call this kind of yucca, bayoneta española- (Spanish bayonet).
Great tip! I really appreciate you adding to the conversation - thank you.
Thank you so much!! I got my plant a few years back about 16 inches tall. It's now twelve feet tall. I was extremely worried about cutting it/killing it. You give me hope! Living in Michigan I have to keep mine mostly indoors. With the height vs weight it's getting difficult to take outside during warmer weather. Thank you for posting this video. I look forward to making more & sharing with other's.
I am so glad you found this video useful 😊 and thank you for taking the time to let me know.
Try growing Yucca Glauca outdoors they are cold hardy to zone 3
@@Ej2o13 Thanks for the recommendation :)
Thanks I wasn't sure which bit tocut the long or short but pulling those dead bits cut my hands and were sunglasses
Sorry about my slow reply. Sorry to hear that you cut your hands, but I hope the video helped you to understand the pruning process :)
Great tips from Australia? Most yuccas are hardy in cold zones but some tree ones are not best to plant in spring and summer sometimes leaves get shock transplanting just dont water too much leaves recover my favorite is color guard yucca
Great advice 😄. Thank you. Yes, from Australia 😄
@@iCultivate1 your welcome love to see gardening tips on plants I like. That's why gardening is great always new plants and ideas to try
nice video
+Natural Artest thank you 😀
I’m looking for a plant to put along my fence line that will encourage prying eyes to go away. The yucca fits the bill perfectly. ❤️
It can certainly do that!
No doubt, a beautiful plant, but I have one that is deeeeeeply rooted too far next to the house.
I had it cut down, and guess what?
Right......about six more yucca heads grew.
More manageable, but GAWD!! Didn't expect SIX!!
They should rename this the Hydra!!
GOD loves y'all and have a Blessed day😇🙏🏿🙏🏾🙏🏽🙏🏼🙏🏻🙏👼🏿👼🏾👼🏽👼🏼👼🏻👼
Good job mate some people say you should let the cuttings dry out before potting
Thanks. Some do say that, and I have also let them dry out. But, I have had great success planting them straight away as well.
Thanks for adding to the conversation 😄
@@iCultivate1 thankyou
thank you so much for this video. I have ever a stunning, heavily blooming 10 foot tall yucca that is destroying our fence, and it's breaking my heart to have to destroy it. maybe with these tips I can salvage part of it in a giant pot. I just wish there was a way to stop the root spread because it's truly so beautiful.
Hi ... thanks you for your comments. I know that you certainly can salvage some of your yucca by planting cuttings that you take when your are finally forced to remove it. The following video is a follow up video showing the cuttings that I potted 6 months later:
ruclips.net/video/ppcN8ZGu2BQ/видео.html
Hopefully this will give you some hope for the future of your yucca :)
Does the elaphantipes have a lot of roots? The Rostrata and Thompsoniana have roots that are only about the size of the head no matter how tall they get. There's pictures of Thompsoniana (pretty different variety actually) over 6 feet tall looking very healthy in a tiny bucket, having never been transplanted it's whole life.

Steve is gorgeous
Thank you 🤩
Thank you for this video.... i got a yucca yesterday and was ready to get rid of it . I've read that if they prick you , you can become ill and so can your pets ( i have a dog ) i was so inlove with it until I was told they were extremely toxic 😐
I have not heard that problem before ...... we have dogs and never had a problem, but I will certainly be a bit more mindful of that - thanks for the info.
In my country it's call flor de izote. And people make all kinds of delicious recipes with the white flower.
😍
Thanks
You are very welcome. Hope you found it useful :)
The yucca he shows is cane yucca tropical plant. Hardy tree yuccas are yucca rostrata and Joshua trees zone 6 if your in a colder zone 5 - 20 degrees grow regular yucca varies of yucca filamentosa
Thanks for being a part of the discussion. Really appreciate your input 😄
chop about 1 foot lengths and leave the top 3-5 layers of leaves on each piece, leave on ground 2-3 weeks yo dry then plant in pot and you get many plants
Great suggestion. Thanks for contributing to the conversation 😀
Beautiful when blossom,however mine never bloomed but once which was last year. How do I get it to bloom yearly?
I never thought that this kind of plants are expensive.
Great info, thanks! Quick question: does the pot I'm planting my Yucca have to have a hole in the bottom for draining, or does it matter? The plant will be in a warm office, dimly lit - no natural light.
Thanks for the question. The important thing is that the soil in which it grows is not too wet. Not having a drain hole could make this difficult while also ensuring it gets enough water - so I would recommend having a drain hole in the bottom.
Also, yuccas prefer full sun, but you can grow them indoors easily. Having no natural light may mean that you will have to give it a holiday outside from time to time.
Hope this help 😄
❤
Hope you enjoy the channel
Love your video- 🤩
How do you cut the yucca down? With an electric saw?
I used a pruning saw for this one, but on larger specimens, I have even used a chain saw! Yuccas are very tough!
Great info! I just inherited 4 large yuccas that blend well with my Japanese maple! I didn't water them after I planted them because the soil is moist. Should I still lightly water them?
burn them while you have the chance before they take over and become a nuisance!
I cut my yucca plant and put the propagated parts directly into the ground. I think they will survive. I threw a cutting out in a leaf pile last summer and it is still growing in the leaf pile.
They are really tough plants. I have also found pieces of stem starting to shoot in the leaf pile months later!
Can you trim back yucca leaves that have brown tips?
Thanks for the video! One question, do you seal the cut on the mother plant?
Good question. All the textbooks would suggest that you should seal the cut, but with yuccas I rarely do this. So, I would not worry too much about this.
Hope this helps.
Is there a particular time this should be done? Spring, fall or summer? I need to do this desperately cause I've had one in a pot for years and it's just getting to much to handle! I would love to make more of them and give them a way to friends! Thanks for the video! It taught me so much!
Yuccas are very tough, so if it is a job that is desperately needed, I would say do it. Ideally though, the best time would be the beginning of spring - just before it’s growth spurt.
Hope this is helpful 😄😄
How can you take off the pups growing up from the soil in containers
Hi Steve, I have a yucca palm. Do I use the same methods to trim them back and replant? I've had it for almost 20 years indoors. It bloomed these beautiful flowers twice, almost like a lilac and the fragrance from them was amazing.
Hi Debbie, I very sorry about the late reply.
Yes - prune to a shape that you like and they should grow back new stems.
The flowers are amazing aren’t they - we have one flowering right at the moment 😄
Great video. We have had our plant for 12 years and have shared it with many . Several cuttings started plants all around our property. Now however our mother plant is starting to develop brown spots. We have sprayed it with summer oil after speaking with the gardener. We live in Florida where it is quite humid. What do you suggest for a fertilizer as we feel it may be lacking something. It's looking a little lackluster and not producing healthy offshoots
Great question. Brown spots on yuccas are usually the result of a fungal infection, so treatment is usually straight forward - if it is possible, remove the affected leaves and spray the plant with a general fungicide. A copper based fungicide is a good option.
By the way, take care to not overwater your yuccas - they need very little water. Sometimes this can promote the development of fungal disease.
I hope this fixes the problem for you.
My yard is full of yuccas, if you don’t consistently prune them, they can get out of control fast and the roots are massive. My only problem with this video is that this guy is not wearing gardening gloves… ALWAYS wear gloves when pruning Yukkas, they are sharp as hell and can cut you deep!
Hi Steve, thanks for the video, it seems pretty easy to propagate Yucca. I have a small Yucca filamentosa stem and want to make it grow. Would just putting it in soil work, or would you recommend some other method such as water propagation? Thank you in advance!
I would definitely expect so. Of course, the longer it has been seen you stem was cut, the less likely it would succeed, but this method is what I have always done for yucca propagation.
Good luck, I hope it goes well 😄
Can this method be used with cordylines?
In the Midwest of the US, I let deciduous leaves pile up. The blooms were gorgeous. Late May (summer) I cut off the stalks, cleaned all around the stems and removed dead foliage. Some of the stems are two inches thick but twisty and flopping. I guess they were looking for light. Should I do anything else?
No, not really. What you are doing is keeping it well maintained and in good order for what you want. Often people let them go a bit resulting in them needing to do something more drastic.
Thanks for commenting 😊
Hi Steve, where in the world are you? I live in the UK and it looks lovely where you can grow Yucca's outside...
Hi Lesley. I am in Queensland, Australia. We are very lucky with our gardening - can grow many things, but we do miss out on some of the beautiful spring gardening possible in the UK - sadly no daffodils here 😢
We have a massive healthy yukka outside in Nottinghamshire, England ! Its just sprouted twins 😃
Hi! I was wondering if you could show how the original plant grew after you cut it please? I got some free plants out the front of someone’s house, I plan to pot them up.
Sorry about my slow response. Here is a video of the same plants, 3 years later: ruclips.net/video/ygjTDxSqIXw/видео.html
Hope this helps :)
Yukkas like being treated like crap I just chucked the limbs in the lawn near the house it loves it
Hahaha ...... I have seen similar with off-cuts that I have left lying around as well. They are very tough!
