How to Plant Yucca Root
Tip
Warning

Content: Do not prune off any of the top while planting. Place the yucca roots in the hole and cover with soil. Firm the soil around the yucca plant. Drape a lightweight, see-through cloth over the above-ground part of the yucca. This keeps the yucca from overexposure to sunlight while it is establishing its roots. Keep the cloth in place until new growth appears. Spread a 3-inch layer of peat moss and mix it into the top 12 inches of soil. Firm the soil around the yucca plant. Tip
Water the soil once a week if there is no rainfall. Yucca plants need water until they have their roots established.
