Here are step by step (general) directions for yucca plants. Please be careful with as the plant sap can be severely irritating. I have had bad experience with Agaves, while pruning the leaves, the sap cause painful burning on the arms.

Propagation is simple, just cut a minimum 10 inch cutting or offset and stand the cutting in a cool dry place inside the house in an empty jug for 2-3 days for callus to form over the severed end.

Pot the cutting in a well drained soil mix and water it only when the soil feels dry..

Place the container in a shaded location until established.
