Content: 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. Hybrid varieties are cultivated to possess specific traits. In order to produce yucca plants with those same traits, growers must produce a clone of the parent plant by using a root or stem cutting. Hybrid yuccas propagated from seeds contain the genetic material of two plants, and so the offspring are slightly different from the parent plants. After their flowers fade, yucca species produce large seedpods that dry on the plants. The seeds can be collected from the pods and planted.
