This is how you share a yucca that has become too big
The yucca palm (more correctly: Yucca elephantipes), which is closely related to the houseplant cultivated yucca palm tree, can be found in many gardens. The plant inspires above all by the inflorescences, which are up to three meters high, and are reminiscent of lily-of-the-valley flowers. However, such a yucca can also be very large, and fortunately, it can be both reduced by a division and multiply.
Ditch the yucca at its location
There are basically two ways to divide the plant: First, you can dig out the whole yucca, then divide it into the desired number of individual plants and then put them back in the ground. This method is useful if you want to implement the Yucca anyway, divide the whole plant or want to see first, in which places it is best to divide. On the other hand, the plants also form offshoots by themselves, which you simply cut off with a spade from the mother plant, dig up and then plant separately again. The mother plant itself remains in the soil.
Sharing Yucca successfully
The best way to fully divide the garden yucca is as follows:
Incidentally, the best time to do so is spring, as the yucca can root better over the growing season, making it durable enough for cooler temperatures in time for winter.
Tips
If the transplanted Yucca leaves the leaves hanging, that's normal. Watch the plant: If the leaves re-erect after a few days, it has grown.
