Yucca: home care

A healthy plant is transplanted by transshipment. This makes it possible to preserve the roots, the yucca will more easily endure the stress caused by the transplant, and quickly adapt to new conditions.
The soil used should be easily shed with water, without stagnation. It is good to use a mixture of bark, peat, perlite, sand, with the addition of charcoal and humus. Universal soil with the addition of perlite is also well suited for the normal development of yucca. The main requirement for the contents of the pot is the presence of a sufficient amount of drainage so that the water does not stagnate and does not spoil the root system. After transplantation, for adaptation, the yucca plant requires a month of rest, without top dressing, pruning and cuttings.

During the period of intensive growth, yucca loves top dressing. It is recommended to use foliar fertilization methods with mineral solutions diluted with water more than indicated in the instructions. The plant responds best to spraying top dressing from the underside of the leaves. In winter, caring for yucca does not require fertilizer, during this period it is in a dormant state.

reproduction

Subject to the basic rules of home care, yucca reproduces easily. To do this, you can apply one of the methods: sowing seeds, cuttings and rooting of lateral processes.
For propagation by seeds, they are sown in light soil, consisting of a mixture of soddy and leafy soil with the addition of sand. A mini-greenhouse is created using glass or a transparent film. It must be aired daily and monitored for humidity. After a month, the seeds will sprout, each of the young plants must be transplanted into a separate pot.
