| My lovely mastiff dog broke the plant off at the stem. This is Yucca filamentosa 'Color Guard'. I know the regular green Yucca cannot die if you blow it up but I am not sure if this yucca is a little more fussy.
It is a large stem about 1" thick and it has a good size leaf amount. My question is.... In my zone 5/6 would you try to root it outside or inside this winter? Do you think it will root? What type of soil should I use to root if I should try to root it over the winter inside? Thank you. |

| You can root them. Let the cut end dry for a few days. If you don't, it will be more likely to rot. You can root them in a pot in a part shade spot for three weeks. Also, remove all the outer leaves, leaving only three our four leaves. Your original plant will probably put new growth up next year so you could end up with two plants, hopefully. |

| Thank you. I pushed it in the ground beside the mother plant I will take it out and put it in a pot after it dries out. |
