Content: Step 5
Cut the rhizome with a gardening knife approximately 4 to 5 inches from the base of the baby yucca. Make sure the rhizome includes several capillary roots so it can gather nutrients once potted. Step 6
Combine equal measures of succulent potting soil and coarse sand to create a potting mix for the baby yucca. Fill the bottom third of a 6-inch nursery container with the mix. Advertisement
Step 7
Hold the baby yucca in the pot so the base of the foliage is 1/4 inch below the edge. Fill in around the roots with small handfuls of the potting soil and sand mixture until the container is full. Shake the container to settle the soil and then add more if necessary. Make sure the base of the foliage is flush against the surface of the soil. Step 8
Place the potted yucca in a warm spot with bright light but little direct sunlight. Slowly acclimate the baby yucca to stronger sunlight until the foliage can stand full sun without scorching.
