Tips
Many yucca plants propagate easily from cuttings, even those without stems. Adam's needle (Yucca filamentosa) is a clump-grower with long, sword-shaped leaves that thrives in USDA plant hardiness zones 5 though 10. It propagates from rooted suckers in spring or root cuttings in winter. Warnings
Don't be alarmed if the top portion of the yucca stem loses its leaves after planting. If the crown is green, the plant is alive and well. Writer Bio
