| Propagation | It can be air layered at almost any point on the stem. I found this out when one of my students asked if he could get extra credit by doing some more air layers on the large Yucca. The layers he did were much lower into the older stem than what we had done in class. Much to my surprise they formed roots as fast as the other layers in the younger stems. Also propagated by tip cuttings and cane cuttings. |
