If you’re lucky, you’ll see small plants, or offshoots , around the base of the plant. The offshoots will be on small rhizomes , which look like gnarled underground branches. In this case, you can simply use a sharp shovel or saw to remove the offsets from the main plant. The rhizomes can be stubborn but don’t worry about harming the main plant. Set the baby yucca plants aside to dry a few days before planting. If you can’t see the offshoots, you may need to dig up the entire plant. Put on sturdy pants, a long-sleeved shirt, and gloves. Yucca leaves are sharp enough to do real damage to bare skin. Use a sharp shovel to dig a circle around the entire plant, a few inches out from the plant. Now you’re ready to lift the entire clump.
