About Joan Expertise Prickly pear, saguaro, barrel cactus, house cacti... You name it! I will answer all your questions regarding cacti such as winter care, propagation, watering, and indoor care. I will also answer questions on edible cacti (for humans or pets) and identification. In addition, I may answer questions on other succulent plants, such as the agave.
Experience Due to the arid climate here in Nevada, I grew up planting cacti and shrubs to design my landscapes. As years went on, I learned the different ways on taking care of these amazing cacti, especially how to propagate them.
Education/Credentials During the past few years, I have tried out many methods in growing cacti, especially when it comes to propagation. I learned the dangers of over-watering, and have researched that people often make common mistakes. That is why I joined to be part of AllExperts.
Question I have a "mound-lily" Yucca which has had 2 of it's 4 branches snap with the
weight of snow (which is now gone). The branches have not completely broken
off, but there is no support left and they are resting on the ground. Is there any
way to save these and transplant/re-root them successfully?
Answer Hello Julie,
You may have to root the branches, otherwise they will slowly dry. Copy and paste the following link to your address bar, which provides simple instructions on rooting cactus and succulents.
