Yucca plant with no leaves!
Hi there,
I was given a spiraling Yucca plant that was just out of control. I got a lot of people advising me to just bite the bullet and lop off the uncontrolled growth and see if the Yucca takes off. So, intrepidly I took the hacksaw and went through the trunk. I reported it, and put it a nice aluminum planter. This is what it now looks like: http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/5711/dscf1844p.jpg Now there was some speculation that it would bud, though it hasn't yet (about 2 months ago since I lopped it's head off). Someone mentioned that I should stab the stem with a screwdriver where I want it to branch out - can anyone verify this? Is there anything I should / could be doing to promote some leaf growth? The trunk remains rigid, and there is water and shingle in the base of the planter to produce some natural moisture... I did manage to keep the head and put it into another planter, and it's looking good, though I've no idea if it's rooting: http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/167/dscf1929.jpg So, please, if you have any idea what I should do, please advise. The Yucca trunk is in a warm area with as much light as I can give it in my flat - right by a SE facing window! Thanks in advance, Tom. |
