How can I separate four baby plants from a Yucca mother plant and when is the best time to do it?
Answers:
Not sure about the best time, but take one leaf, cut it through the veins with a razor blade, leaving the leaf intact.
Lay the leaf on bedding compost and wait.
Be good to it, it works.
I don't think there is really a best time. Just when the baby plants look healthy enough. Usually plants like this are hard to kill.
in the fall which is soon.. dig around the babies, you should see roots on the baby plants.. if the babies are still attached 2 mother, just break the babies off.. as long as the babies have their own roots, they should make just fine on their own..
I would go down carefully w/ a shovel and get as much of the roots out as you can. yuccas are hardy so I dont think it matters as long as the plant is doing well. Just make sure it gets enough water when transplanted
As soon as the baby plants are well 'rooted', it is time. ;p
The best time to remove the basal suckers is in the Spring.Pot them up in good draining peat based compost, with some added extra washed grit.
just stick a leaf in the ground
