How to propagate Yucca Plant

HOW TO PLANT YUCCA
When to plant:
Start seeds indoors at any time, or outdoors in spring. To start hardy varieties outside, spring temperatures should be 55 to 65°F. Wait until temperatures are 66 to 75°F for more tender varieties.

Where to plant:
Select an area that receives partial to full sun, but most importantly, a location that is well-draining. #Yucca will develop root rot quite easily if there is residual or standing water. When choosing a location, consider the mature size of the yucca plant, as some grow to be quite large. Locate in areas where they can be appreciated, but not where their sharp, spiny leaves can be accidentally bumped into; away from walkways and play areas. Massive root structures can grow over time that have the power to crack foundations, disrupt retaining walls, and invade pools and irrigation pipes. These large root structures are extremely difficult to get rid of and any remnants left behind can grow more yuccas.

How to plant:
Soak seeds for 24 hours prior to planting to help with #germination, or rub with sand paper to scar the surface. Plant at a depth of one to two seed lengths. Keep the seeds moderately moist, and you should begin to see signs of germination in about 3 to 4 weeks. Transplant the seedlings at about 8 weeks into bigger pots or permanent location. See more about growing from offsets below, under Propagation.

Other:
Yucca growth is quite slow and variable, especially if grown from seed. It may take a few years until they flower.
