Cutting yucca I'm wondering if in the spring, can I cut my yucca plant and have 2 plants? I'm asking because I see all these little nodes on the trunk, about 12 of them, but they won't grow, they've been stagnant all summer with a tiny bit of green sticking out (photo). Will cutting help the nodes grow? Will cutting the top off grow roots again? Thanks for any advice #yucca #yuccahelp #cuttings #advice #question

Hi. I have removed 3 pups from a yucca w a part of the stem. We let them each dry out for a week till they are sealed off. The middle one ,about 2 in tall, has what looks like mold or mildew on it. Should we treat it before planting? If so, what should we treat it with? We’re planting each 1 in a pot by themselves. Also, should we we bury the whole piece of stem? Thank you. #Yucca
