About My Indoor Yucca Plant

Question

My 31year old yucca plant has started to dry out half way up and looking quite dead, but it also has a new baby growing from the roots that’s looking very healthy. What should l do with the top half, as l am worried? Thanks.

Answer 1

You can remove the top portion of the plant that is dead/dying. This will not only help its looks but removing this old growth will allow the plant to focus its energy on the new pup.

Answer 2

grangemouth, by cutting off the top you will find the plant sprouting new stems rather quickly. It will sprout where you cut, rather from below, so make the cut a little lower than you might think.
