For the first time, the pointed plant of Yucca, saw in the Nikitsky Botanical Garden in the Crimea. And of course he thought that this thermal-loving plant was not suitable for our places. But what was my surprise, when four years ago at the district center on the market saw a man trading in flowers, among them there were yukka. Without thinking, paid 200 rubles for Sultan flower.
Yucca from agave family, native to Central and North America it reaches a height of 2.5 m, leaves up to 5 cm in width and 65 cm in length. Leaves lanceolate, hard and prickly-pointed. Flowers white to 7 cm, bell-shaped, are collected in large inflorescences. Jukka very taxing. Sun and water - the key to flowering. It is easy to tolerate dry and hot climate, it is not afraid of no sun, no drought or wind. Although from the wind, it can hurt themselves barbed ends of the leaves. Yucca loves a bright, sunny location. Not tolerate abundant irrigation and stagnation of water in the soil, this leads to the formation of root rot and decay. Save a plant difficult. I am watering your plant moderately and last. Typically, yucca bloom in the third year, throwing spindly stems. Flowers on it is up to 150 pcs. During the day the flowers like porcelain, but they are especially good in the evening. Garden like flashlights illuminated.
Propagated yucca root suckers, they are separated and planted in the new place, do a better job at the end of the summer, after flowering the mother plant. Yucca can grow from seed. They are sown in March, superficially in deep bowls with a light sandy soil. Seeds are lightly pressed. Glass bowls and covered with warm and put in a light place, at a temperature of + 20 ° C. Seedlings appear within a month. As their diving in separate bowls, and with the advent of the present heat planted at a fixed place. The literature written that yucca filamentous withstands temperatures down to -20 ° C. I do not venture to come and lodge your plant. I put on top large wooden box upside down, on the cardboard box layer, and on top of covering film. Under such shelter keeps yucca leaves, and the leaves die without shelter, in the regrowth of new leaves in May and early June. And with such a cold shelter, no scary. There is a growing yucca and complexity associated with its prickly-pointed leaves. The second name of this plant "Spanish Dagger". Therefore, it is better to plant the garden away from the playground, places of recreation. Yucca injections are very painful and profound, long time will not heal. But on the whole beauty of a flower with nothing of any comparable.
