Hello. A few people have asked if the twist method will damage the roots. The answer is yes. The plant will recover from the damage but it will hinder and repress growth, try to dig out the root mass and gently massage away the soil before repottong
Hi Isaac, Thank you for your comment and great tips. Younger stalks have a small root system and easy to twist and slowly pull out with little to none root damage. **If a stalk is resisting and not easy to twist, then the roots are larger or intertwined with other stalks, and it is best, in this case, to take the soil out and remove stalks, gently separate roots to divide stalks and then repot them. Green Cheers 🌱
@@Mycityplants Yes, sure... I do love Yoccas... so I got about 12 Yoccas, that all of them have been propagated from one mother.. The Yocca mother had been gifted to me before many years from an old man who had been a professor in Agricultur and Forestes... His home filled with Yocca... Everywhere, even in the kitchen....
Good afternoon Juliette ... Beautiful arrangement ... It was like watching plant yoga ... Very relaxing ... Thank you for posting ... See you in the next one ... ✌️🙂🕉🌿
Why is there no information about how to grow/propogate the side shoots of a yucca ???!?!? Ive looked everywhere and everyone talks about the stem or the "pups" and cant seem to find anything about side shoots and growing those
Brought my very first Yucca. I've been watching how to videos. Let me tell you; you are the first one I've seen repot their Yucca this way. I like how the baby plant takes away from the boring mama stem. Can't wait to do this. I got along way to grow but it's going down. Thank

@@Mycityplantsi put my yucca side shoot in water and it was growing for alittle bit and had a little leaf but barely any roots like (2 millimeters only) but now the new leaf fell off and it seems like its rotting... should i keep it out of the water n let it callous then put it in water but only cover the bittom area mostly so it has a smaller chance of rotting ????
Hi Daniel, If a stalk is not easy to twist, then the roots are intwined and it is best, in this case, to take the whole thing out, divide stalks and then repot it. Thank you for watching 🌱
I tried the 2 techniques....that of "twistering" the roots.......and that of gently removing them...........the yucca with all its roots has grown MUCH faster...(and nicer foliage)....pretty simple to figure out.
I love it 😍 but I would like to do the same with mine but can you tell me what soil did you use with you put some sand too it would help me a lot thank you😉
Hi Lydia, We us this potting mix : mycityplants.com/products/indoor-potting-mix Also, our plants are potted in Lechuza self-watering planters. You can learn about them and take a look here: www.lechuza.us/home/ Green Cheers & Thank you for watching 🌱
Hi! Younger stalks have a small root system. Few roots that got a little damage will not affect the plant roots system as a whole and its health. It is similar to when you prune roots :) **If a stalk is not easy to twist, then the roots are intertwined and it is best, in this case, to take the whole thing out, divide stalks and then repot it. Thank you for watching 🌱
Hi Juliette, I need your advice. My indoor yuccas frones/palm leaves are at the ceiling. Can I cut that part of the plant in half and if so will it continue to grow. All the vids just suggest cutting the bark/tree in half or quarters. I don't want to do that . I want to keep the bark tall. Any advice is welcome 🌻
Hi Cerena, It is hard for me to advise you without seeing the plant but if just some leaves of the top crown are too long, I would just cut down the tallest leaves to get your plants to the desired height. Thank you for watching 🌱
Hi Laura, If the plant is healthy and the soil looks clean and fresh, you can re-use the soil from the original pot. If the soil does not look good to you, clean up each Yucca stalk roots to get rid of any old soil and repot it in fresh, well draining potting mix. Green Cheers 🌱
Hi Vanielou, Well draining/porous soil is the best for Yucca plants. We use this potting mix mycityplants.com/products/indoor-potting-mix Thank you for watching 🌱
Hi Jade, Thank you for watching 🌱 Added to the video to-do list 😀 Meanwhile, this article is helpful: bloomscape.com/plant-care-guide/yucca-cane/ **I recommend using Soil Moisture meter mycityplants.com/collections/indoor-plant-tools/products/soil-moisture-meter This tool will help you to establish a proper watering frequency for your plants. You need just one tool for all! When using the meter, test the soil as deep as possible once every 10-14 days. Water when the meter results are in the 1-3 zone. May your plants grow healthy and happy!
Hi i am soo impressed with all of ur plants. Just want to ask what is it you putting on the bottom of the pot b4 soil? Is it pumice? Thank u. And you really now my fave plant channel! ♥️
Hi Miss, Pon - this substrate is a part of the Lechuza sub-irrigation system. * Amount of Pon that needs to go under the soil is provided with each planter. Pon can also be used instead of a potting mix. Read more about this product here: mycityplants.com/collections/potting-mix/products/lechuza-pon Thank you for watching 🌱
Hey Miss J Great idea I think I will go to the local big box store and buy another one to fill out the pot! P.S.still waiting for the self water pots with Leca! Great Video
How old is the main cane? My Yucca is tiny but I think it was waterlogged. I'm being really careful to make sure it gets another shot at growing. This is a cool idea though. How often should you repot / resoil?
Hi James, Thank you for watching 🌱 Not sure how old is this plant as we are purchasing plants at the mature state. On average it takes 2-3 years to mature. Yucca plant does not have to be repotting too often. Once every 3 years or when you see roots are poking out at the bottom. When repotting, select a pot that is just 2-3 inches larger than the original pot. You may also feed your plant to help it to get stronger and recover. Here is the video about when and how to fertilize houseplants: bit.ly/3teZEaw Green Cheers!
Seems like a lot of roots were destroyed in the process. A little instruction during the video would be helpful because not everything is self explanatory, like the substance added to the pot prior to the soil... what might that have been? One can only assume with the lack of information. Is tearing of some roots okay? What kind of pot was used?

I don't get any infor from watching your video, you don't explain what you are doing; I have so huge roots on my yucca, the plants you twisted up have no roots, were they torn off doing that? And, what are you pouring in the pot, are they small stones, or what? You don't explain anything. This is not helpful at all. nope.. looking elsewhere.
Hello Judy, Thank you for your comment. For any mature Yucca plant twisting stems will not work. Large plants need to be taken out of the pot, divided and than repotted. As for small "stones" - these are PON - special substrate that is the part of the sub-irrigation system of Lechuza planters that we use for all our plants.

Is it not bad to twist them and tear the roots like that?

If a stalk is not easy to twist, then the roots are intwined and it is best, in this case, to take the whole thing out, divide stalks and then repot it.

I don't like the way that you twisted the roots out. Seems like it caused a lot of damage.

Can i repot with all of the roots and soil that is in the store bought plant/ers? Or should i find the roots like yours and repot with all new soil?
Hi Laura,
If the plant is healthy and the soil looks clean and fresh, you can re-use the soil from the original pot.
If the soil does not look good to you, clean up each Yucca stalk roots to get rid of any old soil and repot it in fresh, well draining potting mix.

For some thriving yucca on that height, the roots are somewhat small. How you managed to do that

I have not done anything to the roots :) This is just how it is. Thank you for watching 🌱
