I recently found a beautiful yucca plant growing out of a tree stump, and took it inside to care for it. The strange thing about this plant is that it isn’t growing in soil- the plant itself protrudes out of a tree stump- so in order to water it I’ve been taking it outside and then bringing it back in. I’ve had it for about 3 months now, and it isn’t doing well. Its leaves are slowly turning yellow and brown, especially on the bottom but there are also yellow spots on top. How would you suggest to care for a plant like this? Does watering it even help if there isn’t any soil? Thanks In advance!
As it is growing, there are no nutrients, and further, no roots to take up nutrients. It will slowly die, unless you replant those offshoots and force them to root. This is slightly different than rooting many other plants.

We are not sure what variety of Yucca Perennial we had in our garden, but we dug them all out because they were so invasive. Someone said that the root is edible. Is this true?
Almost all parts of the plant are edible. Some need to be boiled to be safe for consumption. but this plant has been used for a food source for some time.

My Yucca plants are in containers .R
In your area, yes. As long as they are the standard variety that you see normally around your area. If this is a soft leaf variety, then you may want to consider bringing this in during the coldest nights of the winter.

Yucca plant is along a fence that needs maintenance and the plant must be cut down for the winter months
This will not usually kill them. Actually, this can force tubers underground to spread! You may end up with an entire fence row of these in a few years.

YES! THanks so very much!
My sons soft tip yucca broke in half during Florida hurricane in October. He stuck the top broken half in ground and 2 1/2 months later the leaves are still green. Can or will the Yucca survive?
It's possible.

I have 2 yucca plants of different ages. Can they share one container?
Yes, as long as the pot is big enough to accomodate two plants and their root systems.
I don't know which species of yucca you have, but you should consider the form of the mature plants and how they will look together in a couple of years, crowded or not.
