Yucca Cane Damaged by Fall and Child: Can It Recover?

Move outdoors when nights stay above 40°F (4°C) for more sun and new shoots. The broken stem can be dipped in rooting hormone and potted—50/50 chance it roots. Teach the child to touch plants with one finger only, or place plant out of reach. Yuccas need full sun and thorough drying between waterings.
