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 :)

He just murdered those beautiful green giraffes! 1:47
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.
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? 🤣🐐

How would you stop a yucca from growing once you have cut it off

What's in Yucca
So well explained thankyou
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 TH-cam I went and found this video so yayyy I’m so happy that there’s hope. Hopefully it will grow in my yard.
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 :)
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.
Great video ! Glad I came across your video for advice ,, I’ve had my Yucca plant for 5 years and has really grown in size and for the 1st time ,, mine finally has a stock which is about to do its 1st flowering
So glad you found the video useful. Enjoy the flowering :)
Just the information i needed to restore my frost damaged Yucca, and take cuttings ( in the warm) at the same time. Thanks.
You are very welcome. Glad you found it useful 😀
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 😄
Very helpful video - short and to the point with clear explanation. Thank You.
Thank you. Short and sweet,to the point! I will prune my yucca just like him. Enjoyed this video.
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?
Hes a MAN 👨
You have a new subscriber. I like how you are quick to the point with what we came here for. Kudos and happy gardening. Hello from Orlando.
Thanks and welcome :)
Happy gardening :)
Just the information I was looking for. My neighbor has just dug up yuccas and I hoped to transplant. Thankyou so much
Thanks Donald, I am very glad it was useful. Perhaps this follow-up video will also help: th-cam.com/video/ppcN8ZGu2BQ/w-d-xo.html
Happy Gardening :)
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 :)
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.
Gorgeous plants!
Love your videos!! Short and to the point. Now I can get to work on doing just what you said!!
Thank you so much for your feedback. I am very happy that you find the information helpful 😄
Thanks for explaining! i have to thin out a mass of them and now I can transplant the clippings to an empty area!!!!!! Thanks for sharing!!
You are very welcome. I am glad it has been useful 😄
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 :)
Wonderful presentation and you really make it look so easy ♥️
Thank you for your feedback 😄.
Happy gardening 🌱🌱🌱🌱
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 😄
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 :)
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.
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 :)
Gud work.rare vedio.gud luck feature programs
Great skills!
Thank you :)
Love your videos., always informative, & easy to follow. Your jolly attitude is welcomed & refreshing 👌🌱
Thank you Amanda 😄. I really appreciate your feedback and are very glad that you enjoy my videos.
Happy gardening 😄🌱
Yeay!!! I now will be able to make a yukka fence! ✌️♥️
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!
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.
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 😀😀
Thanks a lot! You have saved my Yuccas!
You are very welcome. Glad the video was useful . Happy gardening 😄
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
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
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
Very, very helpful....thank you 👍

This man is awesome ❤️
Nice sharing 👌
Thank you 👍
Good job this is the best
Thank you so much :)
Awesome info. I'll be prunning my yuccas this weekend.
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!
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 😄
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!!
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 😄
Nice information
Wow beautiful...
Very informative...like the plant...thanks
I am glad that you found this helpful :)
Happy gardening :)
just what i was looking for, a perfect how to prune Yuccas....thanks for share
+Bobbie Farfalla-Ivanoff Thanks Bobbie, I am glad you found it useful. I actually have a follow up video coming. 6 months on, the pruned yuccas and the cuttings I took are thriving 😀
i will stay tuned.
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:
th-cam.com/video/ppcN8ZGu2BQ/w-d-xo.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.

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 😀
Awesome

+Fensterfarm Greenhouse Thanks Chuck, much appreciated 😀
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 😊
Excellent video! Thank you!
Thank you 😄 I am glad you enjoyed it.

What a sweetheart!
Steve is gorgeous

Thanks Steve!!!!

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!
GOD loves y'all and have a Blessed day😇🙏🏿🙏🏾🙏🏽🙏🏼🙏🏻🙏👼🏿👼🏾👼🏽👼🏼👼🏻👼
very helpful video :)
Thank you. I am very glad you found it useful 😄
very well explained thank you
Thank you, you are very welcome 😄
Beautiful when blossom,however mine never bloomed but once which was last year. How do I get it to bloom yearly?
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!
Good info thank.
What kind of fertilizers should I add to make the pruned tree produce huge numbers of new shoots
Sorry about my slow reply. Yuccas are very tough and you probably don't need to add too much. But, I would recommend adding some well composted and aged poultry manure.
Hope that helps.
Great video. I purchased a potted yucca from the store that has the top cut and covered with somthing that looks like wax. Will the plant grow any talled (from the roots up, as the top doesn`t seem to have any place to go because of the wax)?
Good question. The wax is often used to seal off the cut area and therefore minimum risk of infection and disease. I would expect that you would see shoots start to emerge from the side of the stem - possibly not far below the wax. These new shoots will have the potential to grow quite tall.
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 😄😄
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 😄
Thank you 💚
Don't forget hat, safety glasses, or face shield, and any Spanish bayonet I have trimmed required actual cutting of leaves in North America. Sometimes a Sawzall. Lol
All safety equipment that you can 😉
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: th-cam.com/video/ygjTDxSqIXw/w-d-xo.html
Hope this helps :)
Hello. LOL. Only Australians are tough enough to shred sharp yuccas with their bare hands. I live in Yorktown, Virginia. Our only native version is Yucca Filamentosa. Our neighbors have about a dozen plants, but this year only two bloomed. At this point in the summer, is there any trick to prune or fertilize the plants to get them to bloom again? Thank you.
Hahaha ..... I probably should have used gloves for this, but I rarely do. I have never liked wearing them - strange I know.
With regards to the flowering ........ yuccas don't always flower every year and one of the mistakes people often make is to water and fertilise them too much. So be careful with this. Assuming they have enough water, I would only give them a small about of an broad purpose organic fertilizer once a year. Apart from this, just prune them to the desired shape and height and then just enjoy them.
Hope this helps, and happy gardening :)
My YUCCA'S spikes are turning yellow. After purchasing it a few months ago, I transplanted it in better soil per instructions that were given. Help!
What season are you experiencing at the moment? Spring or autumn? While they don’t typically drop leaves due to the season, it is possible this is normal.
If it gets worse, and it is getting enough sun, I would recommend ensuring it is getting enough water and perhaps give it a good feed with a general fertiliser.
Hope this helps 😄
Buenas noches, gracias por sus videos, nos aporta buena información. Tengo dos yucas igual a la que usted muestra en el video, eran de amiga, yo las he trasplantado en macetas más grandes, y han brotado tallos por toda la base, pero el tallo principal es muy alto y delgado tiene pocas hojas y no se, la veo un poco fea, creo que ha podido ser, por haber estado un poco descuidada antes del trasplante. Si corto ese tallo principal a mitad de altura, btotara nuevas hojas? O se me podría secar,? Es que he visto, que está tiene un tallo cortado de unos 30cm y está completamente seco,. Usted ha cortado el tronco de su yuca, después de quitar los hojas, pero las mías, tiene el tronco limpio de hojas, solo en la base y en la falda, o final del tronco. Un saludo y gracias
Gracias por su pregunta :)
Podar el tallo principal estimulará el crecimiento por debajo de ese punto. Por lo tanto, recomendaría cortar el tallo principal hasta un punto en el que parezca saludable.
Además, piense en cómo quiere que se vea la planta dentro de uno o dos años. Esto te ayudará a decidir dónde cortar el tallo principal.
Pero sí, te recomendaría que cortes el tallo principal a un nivel que fomente el crecimiento que deseas.
Espero que esto ayude :)
@@iCultivate1 OK, muchas gracias..y pienso que cuando empieza a brotar hojas nuevas, con el tiempo, ese tallo también crecerá a lo alto igual que antes o noo?. Perdona, pero la pregunta es para así saber donde dar la altura al tallo, si no va a subir alto como antes de cortarlo, y he entendido lo que usted me a dicho, para dar una bonita forma con altura de corte y base. Pero yo creo que como todos los tallos de otras plantas, también debe crecer en alto o nooo.? Un saludo y muchas gracias por atender nuestros comentarios y preguntas ta rápido. Es usted un crack!!! 👌👋😘
How can you take off the pups growing up from the soil in containers
You will not bother the plant by simply removing it from the pot, taking off the pups and then putting it back in to the pot.
Hope this helps.
Hi! Great video! I have an adult Yucca on a pot and I like the size it has now, so I don’t want it to grow more than that. My question is if I don’t do any cuttings and just leave the plant like it is now on the same vase, will the Yucca survive or will die or continue growing until it cracks the pot? Thank you!
Thank you for your question.
Yuccas have an amazingly vigorous root system and will become very root bound in the pot fairly quickly. Having said this, they are also very tough and resilient.
Therefore, you will find it will survive and be very healthy in the same pot for many year - as long as you give it a feed from time time.
Have a look at the follow up video I posted of these yucca cuttings 😄
Hope this is helpful 😄
you can't kill these buggers they rise up again from the living dead
Hi Steve. Can you transplant them directly into the ground, or do you have to put them into pots first?
Hi Steve, you can transplant directly in to the ground - no problem at all 😄
excellent question! just what i wanted 2 know!
What’s the large leafed plant behind you when you are potting up the cuttings?
The long leafed plant at ground level is agapanthus and the large leafed plant attached to the tree is an epiphytic staghorn. Hope this is helpful :)
Can you trim back yucca leaves that have brown tips?
Great video. My only complaint is that the chickens heard at 2:37 did not make an onscreen appearance :)
At any rate, howdy from the Sonoran Desert!
Haha, love my chickens 😄. Also love the chat that this enables around the world - hope you are safe and well over there!
@@iCultivate1 Yeah we're managing I guess... Hope the same for you! It is cool how democratizing the chat function is.
I think it's also interesting from a botanical standpoint when searching for, say, info on yuccas. I was personally searching for info on yuccas of the SW US deserts as I have some seeds I plan on germinating. I was delighted to find some info from across the world!
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!
Forgot to mention the best time to transplant and is that the same for all yacca varieties???
Sorry about my slow reply. Yes, it is fairly generic for all yucca varieties
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 😄
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.
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!
