yucca

[stodies]

My Yucca plant has just produced four fantastic stems of flowers, it's beauty has far succeeded my expectations, but what do i do with the stems when it has finished, do I cut them, can I replant them, or do i simply leave them? I have to say, I bought this plant a couple of years ago & without knowing much about them I have successfully managed to grow another seven from cuttings, however I never really expected flowers, now I dont want to risk it never flowering again by doing something wrong, please help.

Once the flowers have finnished and died back, you may as well cut them back close to the plant and disgard them.
For material to propergate look around the base of the plans for small plantlets or suckers, these can be carefully sethered and potted up in john innes potting compost.
My yucca flowered a couple of years ago, really beautiful.
Good Luck. T bird.
