That’s yucca was yucky… with rot

  • Some care details:
    These plants with trunks (ponytail palm, dracenas, and yuccas to name a few) are great plants to neglect in terms of watering. Giving water too often can result in a rotted trunk like shown. Ensure you are giving a well draining mix. Preferably a cacti mix with some amendment like gravel or pumice stones.
    So if you are having issues with yellowing leaves, chances are you may have a rotty crevice.

    These plants are beasts. My cat destroyed mine so I set it in a corner, forgot I put it there, and 7 months later I found it and it's still alive 💀
    Edit: My yucca has been safely neglected on the balcony for about a year and is out of reach of my cat, as he is an inside cat. Thank you for all the concern :)

    Cool! Ive never actually seen a yucca plant, but i do use yucca extract in my water solution. It helps make your water more wet lol, it makes growing mediums less hydrophobic, so especially good for coco coir. Also will make your plant tougher and more resistant to stresses like molds/mildews, heat and light stress, and over and under watering. Awesome stuff ✌❤

    Hi Krystal, I am having such a hard time propagating any plants. From the simplest to the most difficult. The bottom always rots away, falls off and dies. Water propagate: same, no roots growing.
    I wish I could take a cutting and it would survive and continue to grow a plant! Never had such luck. What am I doing wrong? I always end up buying plants, but I really want to get some cuttings and successfully grow them into beautiful plants. It's frustrating. I love my plants, but it would be so nice to successfully grow a baby plant into an adult plant. I can transfer plants, but that's not hard. I did kill 3 Yucca plants! All trying to propagate. 0 results. Dieffenbachia: mush on the bottom. Cut it clean to next growth stump and put rooting powder on it. Now wait and see. HELP! you're doing such a great job, I turn to you. Thanks Krystal!

    I had a beautiful yucca, I'd had it for 6 years then gave it away to my neighbour when moving because I couldn't be stuffed moving it. I regret that decision to this day😥

      These things are everywhere. Here in Australia they were a trend and you'd see streets full of them.
