Carefully remove one-quarter of the soil from around the roots of the pup. Hold it in the prepared pot so its roots touch the surface of the soil mixture. Back fill around the roots with the soil mixture until they are completely covered and the pup's leaves rest on the surface. 7
Place the potted pup under high, light shade. Shield it from direct sun for the first few weeks. Maintain light moisture in the soil, but allow the top 1 inch to dry out completely between waterings. Avoid watering more than this because it can encourage the roots to rot. 8
Acclimate the yucca pup to stronger, more prolonged sun over the course of two weeks until it can stand full sun for eight hours without wilting or blanching. Monitor the soil moisture carefully to prevent moisture loss and stress. 9
Grow the yucca pup in its pot for six to eight weeks, or until it revives and begins to put on noticeable growth.
