Many years late on this, but thank you for video. I figured letting my pod dry out in the sun would be nature's way, but have been hesitant to pop the three little canoes apart.
The only thing I'm concerned about is there is only one kind of moth that fertilizes yuccas and I don't want to disturb the larvae. I used to cut the stalks off too but I noticed the birds have some kind of attraction to them- they are always pecking at them.
Hi there. Usually, I would let the seed pod dry out and you can do one of two things… Sometimes I just drop the seeds directly into the soil and they will grow that way. Once I open up the pod. Or you can always start them in a paper towel as well. Just stamping a paper towel and put that inside of a sealed Tupperware container in an indirect spot.
my yucca flowered and then the stalk fell over. Some of the flowers fell off the stalk when it hit the ground but many more are till on the stalk. The flowers have stamens inside them. Will I still get pods? What do I do with the flowers? will them turn into pods? I would love to gather seeds and plant them!
The flowers that did not fall of should turn into pods yes. As long as they were pollinated. You could take a a-tip and swipe it around the pollen from flower to flower and that will pollinate them if you don’t have a lot of insects that land on them.
The flowers have to be pollinated. Often the best thing to do is take a q-top while the flowers are in full bloom and move the q-tip around the pollen of one flower and then to the next. Keep spreading the pollen around in order to get the flowers to become seed pods. Generally i pollinated flowers will just fall off.
Yes, I believe the yucca is in the Algave family although the century plants (algave americana) that you are referring to is only hardy to usually zone 8+. They aren’t frost resistant unfortunately. Now that I live in Florida I have a few century plants and love them! My neighbors is bigger than a VW car!
@@suzannehernandez4177 The stalk is part of the flower, so yes. They bloom every spring. One day there will be no stalk, the next there will be one. Then the flowers form on that stalk. The stalks are very strong and hard wood...I keep mine and build tripods with them for my beans and other vines to grow on. That is the main reason I want to have a yard full of yuccas--I want those stalks!!!
Yucca and agave are in the same family, but so are most plants that have an asparagus looking shoot. I know that my Century Plant Americana is much different than the Yucca plants in the California Mountains. "Asparagaceae - Wikipedia" en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asparagaceae I found out I have some weird attraction to these types of plants.

If you leave them on the stalk they open themselves.
Thank you! 😃

What do you do with the seed pods? I want to grow more Yucca Filamentosa, can i do that with these pods?

This can be from the same plant, right? Doesn't have to be from another plant?@@JoeysAmazingThings
Do seed pods come out after flowers drop, or do the flowers turn in to seed pods? All my flowers are falling off.

Have you got any seeds to sprout?
what is the name of yucca ?
Sorry for the delay. I believe it’s simply called a “Blue Yucca”. That’s what we’ve always called them. 🙂❤️
Part two?
Part 2???
Hmmm, this “Yucca” look like a Century plant!!?

When you cut the stalk will it grow again?
