For starting yuccas I have only had good luck with soil from outside or waste gravel/soil from work projects. The filata seed all sprouted in the dirt from work and the big mama seed very few sprouted from the soil in my yard. I never have luck with soil from a bag.lucky1 wrote:OK, I lied.

wow, nice job Aaron! You'll have to get them into the ground now and water them throughout the summer. PS, if you want more big mama seed let me know.......still got 1,000 seed.
It will be interesting to see the variation between seedlings......keep us updated. I never germinated any of my big mama seed yet.

I don't fertilize yuccas at all. Should I? They grow on very poor soils, so I never thought about fertilizing.lucky1 wrote:marceli,
that GH looks toasty warm, can see them already growing.
Did you fertilize your Big Mamas?
If so, with what?
Mine are still so spindly, but have increased watering.

my ears are burning, Tim.water them throughout the summer
I used "dirt/dust from the yard" for my first yucca seeds a few years ago.
The last remaining y.rostrata from that batch is now all of 6 inches tall.
Your dirt must be better than my dust.
I'm putting steroids on my grocery list.

Hi Barb,
Yuccas LOVE sun, sun, sun, sun...........they love well draining soil with loads of moisture and root tip growth (get into the ground).
Yuccas hate water logged soil......pour water on top of the soil and it should drain very fast.......if water ponds on top of the soil for more than seconds and/or if water sits in the root area you'll have problems.

What do you think about planting my small yuccas outside and potting up for winter? I know they grow few times faster when in the ground.
http://palmiarnia.info - all about hardy tropical plants in Poland & forum!
I'd keep the Yuccas in the ground not in containers.

Tim, the first winter here in the ground might kill'em. I always wait 2-3 years before planting.
http://palmiarnia.info - all about hardy tropical plants in Poland & forum!
Hi Marceli,
if you have a good, sunny location then your containerized Yucca seedlings will be fine in winter......I don't have a nice, sunny location; therefore, my seedlings do worse inside my garage than they do outside. The only species of seedlings I don't keep outside would be the 'tender' species like rostrata, treculeana, aloifolia, schottii, etc...

Marceli, a winter cover has made a very nice job. It works in spite of COLD and snow! Unlikely I would be able planting my yuccas into the ground. They will have been keeping in my unheated GH.

I don't know but my Y.nana one year old seedlings have a bluish color and some off-springs which is a very common for this species. By the way Aaron is an expert on Y.nana and he will comment your query for sure.
