Yucca trimmage??

Help!

I have an indoor yucca plant that is not only huge but also leans at well over 45 degrees. I have scoured the net to find out whether I can chop it back and let it grow agin but I can't find anything that really tells me.
So I am just wondering if anyone has any experience of a similar problem, or tips as to what I can do with it?
Thanks

Its OK to cut a yucca back siriusb.
I've, in the past, cut the stems off drasticly and they grow new shoots quite well.
You can use the cut off pieces as cuttings, even sections of stem will root as long as you remember which end is the top.

 

we have several yuccas in our garden and have cut one down to the roots ,but it still grows up they seem to be indistructable,and any side shoots will grow very easy

 

Just a little tip if you do take stem cuttings and don't want to get mixed up which way up they go cut the bottom of the cutting straight the top at 45 degrees when you pick them up you will instantly know which way up they go

 

So do I have to strip the leaves from the stem prior to attempting to re-grow the cuttings?
And how close to the soil can i hack it back?

 

I'd be inclined to leave some stem for it to resprout from, it depends on what you want the cut down version to look like.
As for the cuttings.
its best to strip some leaves from the lower end of the stem and I would allow the cut end to dry for a few days before inserting it in a pot of sandy compost.
The pot doesn't need to be very big at this stage just as long as you can find a way of supporting the top growth until it roots.
