Content: If your Yucca has already become taller than you would like it to be, the only option is to chop off some of the height. To do this, you will need to saw through a main stem, reducing it to a size you are happy with. You will be left with a slightly unattractive-looking stump, but new shoots should sprout from this over time. If you do decide to hack off the top section of your Yucca, then do so with caution. In some instances, cutting back a Yucca is a trauma that the plant cannot recover from. The new stump may not undergo new growth, and the remainder of the plant may die off. If you proceed with cutting back your Yucca, do so in the knowledge that there is a chance that you may lose your plant ( Royal Horticultural Society ). Propagation
Propagating a Yucca can be done in various different ways, though the most successful way to propagate the plant is from offsets or stem cuttings. To propagate using offsets, you need to locate an offset on a mature Yucca plant and slice it off. Offsets are produced on older Yuccas, and grow off the stem underground.
