The yucca palm is a real classic among houseplants. We show you the best way to propagate the yucca palm yourself. As the appearance suggests, the yucca palm is a desert plant that by no means comes from the USA. The popular plant, which can be found in several species both as a houseplant and the garden, originally comes from the arid regions of Central America. For hobby gardeners and those who want to beautify their home, the palm lily is a blessing because it can propagate without any problems. We show how you can grow several from one plant.<\/p>\n

Yucca palm: cut and multiply immediately<\/h2>\n

The simplest and at the same time most effective method of propagating the yucca is to cut off individual parts of the plant and use cuttings. If the yucca palm is about to be cut anyway, this method is particularly useful. Yuccas tolerate pruning very well, and even the trunk can be cut without any problems. That’s how it works:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Either cut part of the upper stem directly or just shorten individual shoots on the plant. Due to the rapid growth in the right conditions, the yucca palm grows quite expansively and offers enough material for cuttings.<\/li>\n
  2. Plant the cutting directly in the growing medium without any detours. Normal garden soil, which is mixed with a little sand, is ideal for this.<\/li>\n
  3. The palm lily needs a moist substrate for root formation but does not tolerate waterlogging. Also, make sure that the conditions are consistently warm. A place on the windowsill is quite suitable for this.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"When<\/p>\n

    Propagating the yucca palm: in water or soil?<\/h2>\n

    As with many other plants, with the yucca palm, the question arises as to whether the cuttings should rather take place in water or the ground. A decisive advantage of soil as a growing medium is the reduced formation of rot – in contrast to water. There the cutting stands in pure moisture for a long time and softens, unsuitable for the moisture-sensitive yucca. You should therefore use permeable soil for your cutting so that the irrigation water can drain off quickly.<\/p>\n

    Yucca palm after propagation: so it goes on<\/h2>\n

    After a few weeks, the stem or headpiece will form proper roots in the soil and the plant will sprout again. As soon as the yucca has reached a certain size that the soil in the pot is no longer sufficient, it should be repoted.<\/p>\n

    By the way:<\/strong> some yucca species such as the winter-hardy filamentous palm lily form offshoots that can also be used for propagation. Dig them out one by one and plant them again.<\/p>\n

    Liquid fertilizer is ideal for a quick and effective supply of nutrients to the yucca palm. Organic indoor and green plant fertilizer is the ideal choice for all indoor plants and is also kind to the environment.<\/p>\n
