How to cut yucca properly - pruning after flowering and after winter
Garden yuccas basically don't need to be cut. The usually stemless plants only need a lot of space, as they develop more and more offshoots over the years and thus become larger and larger. You should only remove the dried inflorescences after flowering, as they are not a particularly beautiful sight. After the cut, new shoots will develop so that the yucca can develop more flower stalks from year to year. After the winter break, you should also remove dried leaves.

How to make your indoor yucca bloom
You can bring your indoor yucca to bloom by cultivating it on the balcony or terrace over the summer months and sending it to rest at around five to ten degrees Celsius in a bright room after it has caught up in autumn. Stop fertilizing - there is no need to fertilize the yucca between October and February - and water very little. The flower of the room yucca smells beguilingly of jasmine. It is also cut off after flowering.
Tips
The yucca - no matter what kind it is - is very easy to reproduce. Cut pieces, even if they are only leafless trunk pieces, take root quite reliably in a loose earth-sand mixture. However, you need to be patient.
