Rhizomes
All yucca species can be propagated from sections of their rhizomes, which are fleshy, underground roots. A rhizome is dug up in late winter and divided into 3-inch long sections. Digging up just part of a rhizome from the base of an established yucca can be done without damaging the tenacious plant. The rhizome sections are replanted in pots filled with a well-draining, sterile potting mix. They produce new roots in three to four weeks. While forming roots, the rhizomes do best in a warm spot indoors, including inside a greenhouse. Seeds
Propagating yucca from seeds takes longer than the other propagation methods and has the most variables when it comes to success. Some hybrid yucca varieties also make seeds a less desirable propagation option.
