The Xerophyte Not So Cold Xerophyte Not Cold enough

The resistance of their roots to freezing is impressive when the soil is well-drained and remains dry during winter. It can be as low as -30 C for Yucca Glauca! Outside, ensure to ensure that the roots do not stagnating , particularly for the potted plant as otherwise, the combination of water content of the gel could cause fatal problems.

Raised beds can be constructed to emphasize the draining. After planting, eliminate pebbles of coarse types as well as gravel at on the lower part of the hole and dial a decent mix of pozzolan, coarse sand and frank earth to decorate the plantation pit. The collar needs to remain dry. A 10 cm pozzolan mineral mulch can be laid on the surface of the collar for species that are sensitive to winter's humidity.

Although yuccas are resistant to drought due to the water storage in the fleshy stems as well as the foliage and the leaves, watering in the summer months is essential the initial years after planting to ensure the best growth. It is best to put them in the soil when the soil begins to warm up so that they can adjust. A sunny, hot environment is recommended, even though some species prefer the half-shaded arrangement with the disadvantage of a lesser bloom.

A Toilet Delicate

Beware of the yuccas's surroundings Most species have aggressive sharp leaves, some even cutting. Each leaf has sharp edges that are that is more or less hazardous based on the stiffness of the leaves.

The sharp edge that cuts the hard as well as stiff foliage of Spanish dagger (Y. aloifolia) is one of the toughest species. Cut sharp edges and treat it with attention. It is suggested to take away older leaves from rosettes which have blossomed. This adds an aesthetic appeal and helps secure the work surrounding the yucca plant.

A stunning flowering and edible Tree

Flowering typically occurs in the beginning of summer, and certain species flower during the autumn. The spikes of flowers are usually lighter than the rest of them. The panicle will then rise and gradually opens to allow for bells in white or cream, occasionally tinged with brown.

The perianth consists of 3-4 white petals, and as many more vibrant sepals in the back with a dark-colored point. The ovary of the yucca plant is fantastic, in contrast to the agaves (inferior Ovary). The flowers, which are slightly sweet and nutty, can be eaten fresh in salads and are also used to make donuts.

Particular pollinators are absent from Europe

Fruiting is rare in France due to the fact that there is no insect that is adapted. In the original habitat the fertilization process is accomplished through an ancient Micro-Lepidoptera night-time insect, which is close to the moth which is able to carry pollen inside its mandibles. They lay their eggs near the bottom of the flower and allows the caterpillars consume a handful of seeds. The longevity and longevity of the two species can be guaranteed.

The capsule-shaped fruit is packed with black seeds. Seed multiplication takes about five years to see the first flower appears. Vegetative propagation (discards cuttings from stumps aerial) allows you to get young plants faster. Many horticultural species can be multiplied in vitro.

The enemies from Yucca Tree Yucca Tree

Young leaves are often targeted by snails. It is better to act promptly, or the traces remain throughout the year. They also can bite the buds of young flowers which can damage the beauty of flowering in the near future. Some organic anticlimax in the spring, and a hand combat will prevent the kind of damage. Black Aphids can also disrupt the blooming.

In the case of pots, be wary of mealybugs carrying shells that can cause drying on the plants. Manual crushing regularly, and then wiping leaves clean using a sponge that has been soaked in soap, black will help to combat this pest. After the winter, when temperatures begin to cool and the temperatures rise, brown or black leaf spots begin to appear.

This is a fungal infection because of the concoction of winter and cold. Older leaves suffer the most, simply cut them off to bring them back to an appropriate pace and to stop spreading of fungal infection. The rapid growth of healthy leaves will quickly forget about this unpleasant step.
