How does one propagate a red yucca?

I know that one can dig it up, divide and replant. BUT--If that is not possible, as in my case, is taking a cutting off the plant possible? The green blades, or the red blooming offshoot? Does one put in water, or let dry out and then plant? Just what do I do?





I need the easiest, non-digging with shovel, way, THANKS!!

The best way is nature, you know , the birds and the bees.
Reply:division or by seed only. Division faster in order to get it bloom.


Ripe seed can be started in the fall (but much patience is needed). One report was that after two years, seedlings were only 6 inches tall. Red Yucca is slow growing in the beginning (maybe even sulks for a year or two). Eventually, offshoots and baby plants will appear as a signal that the plant is ready to really grow
