I had a yucca cane with trunk rot, fortunately I was able to save all the cuttings from it. Each one is now it's own plant. Put each one into a pot of new soil and they all rooted successfully.
That's beautiful! I love how resilient plants are! They just want to live, so they take the chance when it's given.
Thanks Julie, nice video. Hope I'll save my Yucca.
You're welcome! I hope you do 😊 Goodluck
Hi I just like to say what a good video I quite in fully enjoyed watching it I like the Plant and ikonge wait for the next update on it I quite agree with you of the decision to get rid of the other one that was rotten in a way you many good decision there thank you for sharing the video with us and be safe thank you😍😍❤❤
Thank you for your kind words! Take care 🙏🏾
👋 Julie….how did your plant do?
Just purchased my first Yucca plant and I’m hoping for the best. Give that little kitty cat a hug and kiss for me please. Nice video 👏👏👏
Unfortunately, the leftover plant died along with the shoot that I cut off. It started to decline shortly after I replanted it. I advise that you ensure the soil is well draining. I hope it stays with you for many years. 🙏🏾💚
On another note, sadly, we had to give Snow (cat) away. My little ones weren't getting along with him so it was best to find another home for him.
Nice
Thank you 🙏🏾 💚🌱
Thanks for sharing this, that's almost exactly the progression my yucca cane took. White powdery stuff, droopy leaves, soft trunk. My friend gave me hers, hope I don't kill that one!
You're welcome! I hope you have better luck with this one. Sometimes I feel like that's what it boils down to with these plants.. luck! I'm still having issues with mine. Happy parenting!
I had the same situation with mine. I had two of them in the same pot, the one with the hole in the soil was full of little insects, like lice... I did exactly as you did... but today I found out that the "lice" had spread to the "healthy" one and them I lost it completely... I should have applied a product to kill those insects when I first repot it. However, I cut all the small ones off and I am trying to have some new ones... hopefully, they will grow roots and be healty... Thanks for your video!
Oh no! Sorry to hear. Yes, try again with the shoots. Roots will grow fairly quickly! Again, I think the focus should be on ensuring the soil is well draining.
The cat is so curious!!
Yes, he was!
The moment I saw how soft your yucca plant was, I had to go check mine. The problematic one was softer compared with the others in the same pot. But I think over watering caused it cos the leaves started turning yellow and falling off. This plant is really drought resistant. I haven't watered the plant since September and it isn't dry yet. I will def try to propagate the one I'm trying to save and discard the rest of it like yours. Thanks for sharing
No problem! You are right about it's drought resistance.. it takes forever for my soil to dry out also. The part I cut off and propagated was put back in the original spot, however it seems to be wilting now. 😥 I think it's because that specific stem currently needs more water than the other established stems. I think my best course of action now is to remove it and put it in its own pot for me to be able to give it the attention it needs. Fingers crossed!
@@AHAVA7YAH I think putting it in its own pot is a better idea. Good luck ☺️
@@maryams.5720 Thank you
Nice video
Thank you ☺️
My yucca was just like yours! Soft trunk. But the roots were healthy. I tore off the bark and found that the entire stem was rotten black and infested with white bugs. I cut off the branches to propagate them, but then they started smelling like rotting meat even sitting in dry soil! They died days later. I talked to a nursery and they said this sounded bacterial, not fungal. They said root rot stays at the root. It doesn't travel up the stem. Apparently the bacteria can just be in your soil and eventually consume the whole plant. Crazy! It was sooooooooo gross! 🤢
Oh OK good to know. That's for the info. Yes, either way these infections are very gross. Thanks for stopping by 🙏🏾
I barely water mine so they grow strong and rough 😁
Nice! I definitely over-watered mine then
They barely need any water at all, like a cactus.
I think you could have cut closer to the top of part you threw away. You would have needed to saw it off but worth it to see if it would root
I agree.. at the time, I forgot that I had a manual miter saw that would have been perfect for that.
Yes just cut the green one and put it in the water.
Yes, exactly!
Hi Julie...the yucca plant i just bought has a lot of black Spots on its leaves..pls give me some tips how to take care of the plant..thnx
Hi Zuraidah! Sorry to hear about your plant. The black spots can be a sign of a fungal infection of the leaves, bacteria or mold in the soil, or overwatering which can also cause mold. You can try a fungicide on the leaves, changing the soil and ensuring that the air around it isn't too moist; remember that yucca originate from dry conditions. Try not to overwater it also because they are drought-tolerant. I hope that helps. 🤗
Mine was stuck in a frost and now it's soggy and leaves are droopy.
Oh no! Sorry to hear.. It'll be a miracle if you were able to bring that back though..
Hi, would you mind telling me what soil have you used for topping up the pot?
I want to change the whole soil as I’ve watered it too much (it was soaking in water).
Many thanks
Hello! I used Pro-Mix potting soil in this video. What I would have done differently is maybe add some perlite and cactus soil to the mix to make it less dense and increase its ability to drain. I hope this helps!
Hi! I would suggest mixing those at a ratio of 1:1:1. I hope that helps! 🤗
No it's not weird. Basically, whatever cup/item you use to scoop one item, use that same item for the others. So if you fill plastic cup (for example)to the top with potting mix, use the same cup to scoop the other two items in the same manner. Depending on the size of the new pot, if you estimate 4 cups of potting mix, use that same cup to scoop 4 cups of cactus soil, then perlite.
No worries! Goodluck with your plant baby!
Is this an edible variety of yucca?
I'm not sure.. I don't recall ever reading anything like that but I no longer have it
What did u do with white powdery substance? Mine is struggling with that. I brought it out in sun but that damaged all its leaves 😞
Well this plant is no longer with me.. it died several month after that video. I believe I tried spraying it with hydrogen peroxide everyday but it didn't really do much; It was just too far gone I think.
I believe that powder was a fungal disease which I heard could be killed by spraying it with a mixture of 4 tablespoons to a gallon of purified water. Maybe you should give that a try and let me know how it goes.
Hi.. thank you for this very informative video but I really need your help. I have a store bought small yucca, I usually keep it hydrated and not too wet but it doesn't seem to be doing well. There are no new leaves and the all the others are droopy.. don't know what to do 😞😞😞
Aww sorry to hear. I would first let the soil dry out then give it a hydrogen peroxide drench. See how that helps over the next few weeks. Here's a link with more information on that.
nouveauraw.com/indoor-plants/plant-care/3-hydrogen-peroxide-solution-pest-and-soil-treatment/
Try that, and if it doesn't work, check the roots for root rot. If you find rotten roots, remove them and replace the soil with fresh soil and maybe make it more high draining by adding perlite, sand or a combo of both.
With yucca plants, it's best to water when the soil is mostly dried out as it stores up water in its trunk.
Please keep me posted on you plant.. I really hope that it can be saved. The issue sometimes is that the problem is often caused by the store before you buy the plant, so don't feel bad if you can't help it. Take care
@@AHAVA7YAH Thank you so much Julie for your prompt response. I'll try the remedies that you suggested and will let you know if anything worked 🙏🏻
Great! Please do and You're welcome 🙏🏾
Finally the soil of my yucca is completely dry and I think, like you suggested I can proceed with peroxide drench. But many of its leaves are now drying and turning yellow. Do you see any hope for this plant?
Yes, proceed with drench. Then continue on by watering when most of the soil is dry. If the yellowing continues and there are no new leaves, change the soil completely and remove rotten roots if you see any. There's still hope.. Don't give up yet!
Thanks for this video, I think I just saved my yucca last minute today following your instructions, I will now wait for roots within a week, do you have any updates on your propagations, did you manage to get them going and plant them back to the soil?
You're welcome! ☺️ The propagation grew roots pretty quickly.. within 2 weeks! I made a mistake with it though.. I planted it back into the original pot with the other two. Instead, I should have put it in a new pot by itself until it adjusted to soil and matured a bit more before joining it with the original pot. Good luck on your Yucca!
@@AHAVA7YAH thanks so much! My yucca was actually mini, few months old and had only one smaller steam, but the issue was identical to what you showed in your video, and the steam rot started invading the only two parts yucca had and that I saved last minute based on your video. It's day 5 now and both of my mini yuccis started shooting roots, so you were right, about a week, so now I wait until they are solid to pot, but wanted to ask what kind of soil would you use, I am thinking maybe the soil for cactuses?
No problem! I think the key to a thriving Yucca plant might be some neglect. They are drought resistant so we gotta hold back a lot when it comes to watering. Lesson learned!
@@AHAVA7YAH Yes, they're like a cactus, hardly need watering at all, and they save water in their trunk and leaves, so even if the soil is dry, they still have a water supply for a while.
Very true!
How do you keep your cat away from your Yucca? My cat has damaged the leaves so badly it looks horrid
Oh noooo! Sorry to hear. My ex cat (I no longer have him) didn't care much for my yucca. My kids did more damage to it than Snow (cat)did. Maybe you can try raising it off the ground out of reach and putting it on a nice stand. Let me know if you end up trying that and how it works out for you. Thanks for stopping by 😁
@@AHAVA7YAH No worries and okay thank you! Will try and will deffo let you know :) x
I read these are toxic to pets and human, causing stomach cramps..😟
@@E.OMalley they are! Luckily my cat only bit the leaves and never ingested. Makes them very sick
Luckily my cat never tried to eat it when I had him.
I bought huge tall yuca plant , but , I did really a bad mistake , I fertilized with npk in winter , it's all leaves went yellow , and no ny growth of new leaves seen 🙏🏾😥 I dnt wanna loose this plant, wht to do ??
Aww.. if the stem of the shoot hasn't gone soft, try changing the soil to start fresh, then ensure you give it sufficient light. I hope this works. Goodluck 💚
@@AHAVA7YAH ooh stem is still hard so I cut it in 2 piece and I’m trying water propgation
OK, that's good too! I hope it works out because then you'll have 2 plants.. the more the better! 🤗 take care!
Hello, done watching, please resback thank you for sharing,
Hello! Thanks for stopping by and watching my video! I appreciate your time. 🙏🏾
Why do I keep hearing it’s dangerous to have I just got mines today & wanna make sure it’s noun toxic or anything if so I’ll bring it right back to Home Depot
Hi! That's weird.. I haven't heard that yet. I'm pretty sure they're not toxic.
It's not lost. Watch another yucca video
Thanks for your kind words! Unfortunately, the plant didn't make it, but I did try my best to save every part of it. Thanks for stopping by! 😊
How we resolves the issuance of yellow leaves??
It depends on how often you're watering it. They're are generally drought tolerant plants so you must avoid over-watering it. If you find that that's the case, let the soil dry out before your next watering and see if that helps.
@@AHAVA7YAH its going to be yellow & dry I can't see
When did you last water?
@@AHAVA7YAH may I send u pic
@@AHAVA7YAH before 3 dayz
That pot is too small it rotted cause too much water no drainage
It did have drainage holes.. I either overwatered it or the problem started before I got it. Thanks for commenting.
Mmm
🙂
But a corn plant..dracaena family
Hi!
Oh yeah? But the leaves were not dracaena-type leaves, the edges were sharp and the leaves were stiff/tough.
@@AHAVA7YAH actually it is, had this plant way back in 1988, common name is "Japanese corn plant"...also had fat leaves.& 2 date have 2 actual Yucca plants in my front yard, its 4/5 feet talll^!!!w/ white flowers...no cane
Wow very interesting! I'm going to look it up. Thanks for sharing! 🤗 I will definitely be looking for another one and if I find one, I'll treat it like a dracaena.
@@AHAVA7YAH alrighty now,that should work👍❗
😁🙏🏾
mom buy another yuca cane if its gone bad
I will
You have over watered it
Yes.. unfortunately
All my leaves on mine fell off over the winter but it still feels sturdy. What do I do?
Oh no!! Sorry to hear.. I would suggest maybe be more attentive to how frequently you're watering but most importantly is it getting enough light? If not, make sure you give it a lot of bright light and give it some time. New sprouts might grow out of the trunk.
Keep your cat away
Yeah.. I know longer have him.
@@AHAVA7YAH I’m sorry. It will make him sick or any pet for that matter if they eat it. Hope it is doing better for you now.
I heard this is true. I no longer have that yucca either. It didn't take long for it to die.. that and the cutting smh
@@AHAVA7YAH oh wow I’m so sorry 😞 plant life. Right?!
Trust me! It's like being on a roller coaster lol
speak up!!! and atone for your sins.
I'm good with Yahuah, my Aluah
Uh oh my friend, btw This IS NOT a yucca plant
What is it
He says it's a Japanese Corn Plant
Yes, this is Yucca Elephantipes :)
