Yuccas are very easy to propagate. They grow readily from seed and from cuttings.
Seed can be sowed in the normal way.
If your Yucca is one of the trunk-forming species, and it has a number of trunks, just cut one of the trunks about one foot from the lowest leaf. Strip off about half of the leaves, and make sure the cut is really tidy and neat. Brush some rooting powder onto it and leave it to dry for three days to dry.
Put it into a flower pot filled with a 1:1 mixture of compost or peat and perlite. The cut end of the trunk should only be an inch or two deep in the compost. Because it will be top-heavy, secure it in place by tying it firmly to a couple of stakes. Water it just enough to stop it from drying out.
Now all that is reqired is patience - as the developing roots can be damaged if disturbed. When the Yucca starts to produce new leaves examine the underside of the pot to see if any roots are poking out of the holes - this may not happen for about six months. Pot it on into a standard potting compost, and plant out when it has filled its new pot with roots.
the yucca moth benefits with the yucca plant so the yucca moth can get food from the yucca plant .
The female yucca moth chooses to go to nearby yucca plant in order to get the pollen from the plant. The moth then starts to lay eggs in the large flowers of the yucca plant.
Yucca filamentosa, the most common type, Yucca brevifolia (Joshua tree), Yucca aloifolia (Spanish bayonet), and Yucca gloriosa (Spanish dagger). Yucca baccata and Yucca glauca, are called soap plant.
The word yucca is a noun, a plant. Example sentence: The yucca is a flowering plant with tall spikes of blossoms.
The yucca moth lives on the yucca plant and does no travel to other flowers or plants. Adult moths live inside the flowers and the larval stages are all completed inside the yucca fruits as they develop.
No. It is like a prick of a pin. A Yucca are not poisonous.
A Yucca Moth caterpillar eats yucca plants. The adult moth lays her eggs on yucca plants.
nothing....it's just a yucca plant. if there is a wound, apply neosporin and cover with a bandage.
It's a mutualistic relationship. The yucca plant (Mexico, Caribbean and Southern US) can't pollinate itself to grow more seeds. The yucca moth pollinates the plant and lays its eggs inside the plant. When the moth larvae hatch, they feed on the seeds of the yucca plant, but the plant only lets a certain number grow, so that they don't eat all the seeds. So by pollinating the plant, the moth develops food for its larvae and the plant as well as the moth can survive and continue. And the adult moths emerge from their underground cocoons exactly when the yucca plants are in flower, in early summer.
Yucca flower, the blossom of the yucca plant.
There are a number of insects that eat the Yucca plant. These insects include Yucca weevils, Yucca moth, and mealybugs, as well as mites
For photosynthesis in a Yucca Plant, the plant must be watered at least 5 times a day. The Yucca Plant is very sensetive. If you cut it, it will not grow, but it will die effective in about 1,2,3, or 4 weeks. I hope I helped you out! -Scientist of CA; Juliana DeVoccha
