    Yes, you can propagate the yucca pups but make sure you keep them sheltered from any cold. These articles can help:

    Water only when the soil is dry to the touch (when your finger feels dry soil 10 cm down or so). Allow the plant to dry between waterings.

    Dry soil will not stick together when you pinch it between your fingers; however, it should not be hard and scratchy, either. And test the soil as close to the bottom of the pot as you can get; yuccas should aerate all the way to the bottom.

    They can do fine in that spot, though in semi shade, you may see slow growth and it will not bloom much.

    As for a pot, a deep one is better. Soil should be a well draining potting soil with just a little sand mixed in.

    Go up another couple sizes when repotting. The following articles should be of some help to you: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/foliage/yucca/separating-and-repotting-yucca-offshoot-pups.htm

    Normally, wiping them down with a soft, wet cloth is adequate. This article will also help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/hpgen/how-to-clean-houseplants.htm

    In addition to the advice in the above article, I would add that plants are best kept clean on a regular basis, like every time you water. You can dust them with a duster - feathers are increasingly hard to find, but the micro-fiber ones work just fine. Or you can clean them with a soft cloth, even paper towel - put one hand under the leaf to support it, and wipe gently but firmly with the cloth. You might want to use soapy water at first cleaning, since they've been outside all summer.

    See this article: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/hpgen/keeping-your-pet-safe-identify-poison-plants-in-your-house.htm

    "Typically, when dogs and cats ingest yucca, it results in mild vomiting and diarrhea.", from another article.

    I would suggest you ask your vet just to be certain. Some sources say yucca is not harmful to dogs and cats, other sources say it is to some degree. I was told once that the difference between a dog/cat and a mouse/rat eating mouse/rat poison was that dog/cat could vomit it up and the rodent could not.

    The following article has methods of propagation. The first method works well with yucca plants. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/hpgen/propagating-houseplants-from-cane-cuttings-and-divisions.htm
    If you enter "yucca" into the search window at the top of the article, you will access several other articles concerning yucca plants.
