They are roots ! 😇

That’s what I thought lol but what do I do white them? Can I snip the green part with the root and repot it?

#### Bri replied on 2025-01-19

Yes ! Although I have never propped a yucca you may need to let it get more of a “trunk” where the root is if that makes sense, but totally propable !

#### Bri replied on 2025-01-19

You can snip them if you don’t like the look but they bring oxygen to the plant 😁

#### Ex-Plant Killer 🌱👌 replied on 2025-01-19

I’m going to try, need to read up on how properly do it but fingers crossed 🤞

Oh I don’t mind the look, never seen roots coming out of random places before lol
